I think I'm one of two who haven't reproduced. The thing that scares me the most is how EVERYTHING swells up - even facial features like your nose and stuff. WTH. What does your nose have to do with ANYTHING about having a kid? I have a big enough nose as it is... thanks! <abbr><em>Cee´s last blog post..I Don’t Have a Green Thumb</abbr></em> A ton of my girlfriends in my circle have had kids.

But then, maybe those folks were the same who would judge me for my "normal" clothes too. That one was weird. @Nilsa I'm pretty much with you (as is my doctor). I think a lot of it stems from how frantic and afraid we are as a country about everything having to do with kids, and a pregnant woman, oh dear god she must be practically incapable of doing ANYTHING lest she hurt the poor baby. Nevermind that women have been doing this for, um, the entirety of human existence! @Amy & @Elizabeth: yes, strangely I’ve been judged for maternity clothes.

But, generally, I think everything in moderation when it comes to lots of things in life, including pregnancy. I have a friend who drank a small glass of wine a few times a week during her pregnancy. And you know what? Her children (now 10 and 8) are amazing and extraordinarily gifted. As you've found, for every warning, there's evidence it's perfectly fine. Sigh. <abbr><em>SoMi's Nilsa´s last blog post..Babies</abbr></em> So, I’ll probably be judged like crazy for saying this.

I am so bad about looking up info and then freaking out about it! Also, about the hip shifting thing, when my cousin was 5 months pregnant she and I went to a yoga class. The instructor told her she had to be extra careful with some of the poses because pregnancy causes women to be extra limber and she could accidentally stretch her body too far and get stuck. I found it funny at the time :) <abbr><em>Ally´s last blog post..<a href="http://mylifesabeach1.blogspot.com/2009/04/weekend-recap.html" rel="nofollow">Weekend Recap</a></abbr></em> Oh dear, when I’m pregnant I think I’ll just need to stay away from the internet.
