Christine asked:


Hi ladies,

What are the rules for drinking one cup of coffee per day, getting hair treatments, and eating a Zone bar (or other brand)? Are they safe for baby? I never exceed one cup of coffee per day, can’t handle it! But I’m also wondering if I need to cut out my yummy Zone bars which I snack on occasionally. I don’t think they have anything wierd in them, but not sure if something could be harmful.

Anything else I should avoid, besides the obvious: alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc.?

Thanks!

I am six and a half weeks pregnant, and my first Dr.’s appointment and ultrasound isn’t until November 12th. I would like to start taking prenatal vitamins now, but I don’t have the $$ to go get them (I assume they’re expensive.) Can I just call my Dr. and have them send in a prescription?

I’m going to ask the doctor, but I just wondered if anyone knew for sure.
my issue isn’t as much with not enough calories as with not enough energy. My mom thinks I’m not getting enough protien because since I’ve been pregnant I’ve gone off of meat. I also have irritable bowel, so my diet is limited anyway.

What are some good and bad OTC prenatal vitamin supplements?

I just found out I’m pregnant, about 6 weeks or so. I haven’t seen the doctor and won’t be able to for another week, so I am wondering if I should start taking prenatal vitamins on my own already.
Can I just get the vitamins from the grocery store, and is there a specific type I need to get?
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
