Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
When Mom was pregnant with my brother the common thought was that you shouldn't put on too much weight while pregnant.
My mom, too (1970-71). Plus, she was a model before she met my dad, so she had a real aversion to gaining weight anyway. She wore her normal pants well into her 6th or 7th month.
It'd be nice if the doctors could give you a list of risk factors with points, like Weight Watchers, and tell you that ten points off this list is acceptable.
This is brilliant. I would so buy that book.
My personal yardstick is (1) have I been given an actual reason to avoid X? and (2) if so, is there actual research/evidence to support said reason?
The no-sleeping-on-your-back thing actually makes sense -- from the mid-second trimester on, the growing sprog and uterus, placenta and big ol' sack of waters are all sitting, and growing, in just the right spot to squash a couple of important blood vessels when you're lying flat on your back.

What's the proportional impact, though? Of always sleeping on your back, of rolling onto your back when you're asleep and not in control of your motion...it's so very complicated.
It's hard enough to control all those factors when you're awake.

And at that point, it becomes uncomfortable in addition to being potentially dangerous, so it's not like side-sleeping is a huge sacrifice.
Clicky fire stick! Clicky fire stick! I neeeeeeeds one!
... other than that, I gots nothin'. Work is eating my brain. I would like to go drinking with The List. Of course, I've turned into a lightweight, so I'd turn into HappySpinnyGigglyJilli after about two drinks ...
I think you should have gotten up and walked away....and walked straight into your boss's office.
Yes, this.

This isn't dissuading us, you realize.

Oh, I know. I just figured I should warn you that I won't be able to keep pace with some of you pretty people.
