Wacky Wednesday

Hello all,
    First off, I am thinking of doing a daily photo of me and my baby gut. Please post your opinions on that in a comment. Today is Wednesday. I've decided to share with you some myths about pregnancy that are just wacky and not very accurate:

1. Cocoa butter prevents stretch marks.
   -Cocoa butter actually makes your skin more sensitive and does nothing for stretch marks.
   
2. You can't eat sushi.
   -Sushi is permissible except for mackerel, shark, tilefish and swordfish. And don’t eat too much tuna.
   
3. Dying your hair is harmful to your baby.
   -Most chemicals in hair dye will not cause problems with your pregnancy.
   
4. You shouldn’t have sex/lift your hands over your head/touch your toes while pregnant.
   -Unless a doctor tells you otherwise, this does not hurt your pregnancy.
   
5. You shouldn't take hot baths while pregnant. (TRUE TRUE TRUE)
   -You can take warm baths, just not any of those baths that would raise your temp to 102.
   
6. You shouldn't drink coffee while pregnant.
   -Everything in moderation.
   
7. You should sleep on your left side and never on your back.
   -Sleeping on one side can cause hip discomfort and sleeping on your back is fine as long as it's comfortable.
   
8. Walking can make labor go by faster.
   -Labor will take it's sweet old time.
   
9. When you're pregnant, you should eat for 2.
   -FALSE! when you're pregnant you only need an additional 200-300 calories a day...less than a candy bar, more like a Tillamook yogurt cup.
   
10. Drinking beer can help breast milk come in.
    -Nope. Although it make relax the mother; which will help breast milk come in.

And your awkward photo title at bottom.
