A partial list of things on the pregnancy no-no list:

Margaritas

Exercising past the point where I can ‘converse comfortably’ – i.e. exercise

Unwashed fruit or vegetables

Sam Adams

Eating anything that’s been sitting out for more than 2 hours

Lunch meat in any form, which, of course, means giving up sandwiches

Hot baths

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Lying on my back

Hot tubs

Soft-boiled eggs

Wine

Feta cheese

Sushi

Farmed salmon

Rare meat in any form

Cranberry martinis (OK, any alcohol, but practically speaking, that means a lot of specific drinks that I really want.  I’ve never craved a beer as badly as I do when coming home after a long day of pregnancy-related discomfort and crankiness)

Ibuprofen

Saunas

Real ceasar salad (because of the raw eggs)

Lemongrass

Pot

Camembert

Second-hand marijuana smoke permeating our apartment through the vents from the neighbors downstairs

Brie

Tuna, except albacore

Really, most fish

Taco Bell (too many e-coli break-outs)

Fumes from most cleaning agents (I guess this gets me off the hook on cleaning)

Nail polish
