I have 3 kids and didn’t take vitamins during any of my pregnancies. They all made me puke. I tried to eat healthy and not give in (too much!) to unhealthy food cravings (like bacon!) but all I can say is… take all this advice with a grain of salt. When I was pregnant with my first baby, my mother-in-law gave me a battered copy of the book she had when she was pregnant in the seventies. “No more than 8 or 9 cigarettes a day” was my favourite piece of advice. Sheesh! Anyway, just try to do your best and know that some days you’ll want nothing to eat but Taco Bell, and that’s just fine. Just try to relax about all that stuff.

I remember when I was on bed rest, I told my husband I wanted a grilled cheese. He said “No, you can’t have that, it’s not good for you.”
I nearly killed him.
Love your post! So true that you can read 100 bits of advice and five years later you”ll be told you got it all wrong. So relax, take everything with a pinch of salt and enjoy the experience…
