The list goes on about these things, and I knew there was a lot of things, but I never realized just how much... So... for those of you that are pregnant or have been pregnant, how much research/knowledge did you know about these kinds of things?

Replies shortie415 Posted at 1:20 pm on Sep. 13, 2008 Honestly, the girl can eat hot dogs raw.. and she can have deli meat.  Then again her doctors may advise against it, because it's not exactly that healthy normally. Tell her after she's done researching what she can and can't do to make sure she looks into the development of her baby.  That is simply amazing.
