RRL2012:
I am so freaked out right now to do anything that might cause the baby to detach. I know this is irrational, but I can't help it. LOL. Is there anything you are or aren't doing because of your irrational paranoia?
Here's what I'm doing....
1. Driving slowly over speed bumps (I even did this when TTC because I thought it would make the sperm fall out)
2. Not moving quickly or bouncing around too much. Lowering myself to my chair softly, etc.
3. Unbuttoning my pants. Part of this is because I am bloated, but I mainly don't want to squish the poppy seed.
4. Told DH he isn't allowed to pat my butt anymore because I don't want the pat to reverberate through my body and cause the poppy seed to fall out.
So now that you know I'm a bit psycho, LOL, what are you doing or not doing that you know is totally irrational?

Oh goodness. Ha ha ha!
To be fair, when I was around 4 weeks, all of a sudden, it felt like I should be doing everything differently, since I was carrying precious and delicate cargo. It was an odd feeling.
Yeah, I feel like she's had a long road of it and is just terrified of something happening.
But it's still funny.
I can definitely relate though. I am hoping that with #2 in the future that I don't have that nutso paranoia in the beginning. It is so difficult to make peace with the "what will be will be" thing. Unless you are smoking crack and riding organ-crushing rides, I think you are good as far as what you can do.
Also, I was horrible about forbidden foods while pregnant. I just ate whatever (for better or worse) and as far as I know Abby is doing great LOL.
Doesn't that list kind of change daily? I'm serious, I read some of the stuff the Bumpies post about avoiding this that and the other thing and all I can think is, "I guess I'll stick to the moderation theory." I would forget anyway.
Yes it does.
I say cook your food & don't be crazy. Life is too short to be neurotic about dinner. Pregnancy was enough of a mind-fook without making eating a PITA.
