Pregnancy

Unusual advice for pregnant women

When I got pregnant for the first time in the late 1990s, my gynecologist gave me a list of prohibitions
Sex was allowed, but the list caught my attention.
Here are some recommendations I'd never heard of:

- No hair dye

- No painkillers unless necessary

- No dental treatment, unless it's an infection or truly necessary. Cleaning is fine
My dentist disagreed

- No unpasteurized milk or cheese

- No deli meat

- No raw meat

I think there was something about eating fish, but I'm not sure

Until then, I only knew of no drinking or smoking

I'm now wondering about the chemicals in nail polish. There are reports that manicures have health complications

After this I tell you that my mother says that she smoked during all her pregnancies
