There really is some kind of weird conspiracy against pregnant women (and women in general, for that matter, since as a gender, we’re the ones responsible for carrying the babies) with all of the things you can and can’t eat, drink and do when you’re pregnant. It’s hard enough for me, knowing that my risk of miscarriage, after trying to get pregnant for 5 months, is 1 in 5 for the first 3 months of my pregnancy, without throwing in the agenda of a mass of people who want to dictate what I do or don’t do that might affect my fetus: http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/2008/01/22/coffee_miscarriage/index.html.
I can’t, and won’t, worry about 200 mg of coffee v. 300 mg of coffee, or about a quarter of a glass of wine, or eating a piece of sushi while I’m pregnant. I’m taking reasonable precautions, and I’m weighing them carefully, but the fact is, if I miscarry, I believe it’ll be because of an abnormality in the genes of the fetus, not from my actions. We need to remember that generations before us didn’t follow many of the precautions we face today, and the world continued to turn, babies continued to miscarry and be born. The biggest question for me is, where is this weird agenda to control women coming from?
