For when you need the facts—not fear—about what food, drinks,
activities, and procedures you should avoid during each month of
your pregnancy.
Over the years, Dr. Elisabeth Aron has soothed the worries of
many soon-to-be moms who have come to her with questions such
as:
? Can I exercise during my first trimester?
? Is canned tuna safe to eat throughout my pregnancy?
? Do self-tanners contain chemicals I should be worried
about?
? I have to fly for work during my second trimester. Is this
safe?
? Is cookie-dough ice cream safe to eat?
? Can I wear an underwire bra during my pregnancy?
? I’m six months pregnant. Is it alright for me to have a
glycolic peel facial?
? Are peanuts safe to eat or will my baby develop a peanut
allergy if I eat too many?
? There is a lot of chlorine in my health club’s pool. Is that a
good or bad thing?
Pregnancy Do''s and Don''ts includes hundreds of entries on
possible concerns—from apple cider to zinc and everything in
between. In each entry, Dr. Aron identifies the item, the possible
cause for concern, and explains the bottom line—whether it is
something a woman should avoid completely, something to take a
better-safe-than-sorry approach toward, or something that is
perfectly fine.
