I never realized it until I started to ask. Today I was about to bite into a Napolean from a local french bakery and at the last minute decided to ask... sure enough there is raw egg in it. Total bummer! (I know some people probably still eat it but I'm too much of a freak and would just worry, so I avoid for peace of mind).

Um, seriously? A Napoleon from a French bakery? Oh man, those things are awesome. Maybe it makes me cavalier, but... I'd totally eat it.

I'll eat anything. How often did you contract a case of salmonella BEFORE you were pregnant... You know?!

I definitely had a truly horrible stomach bug from my college cafeteria my senior year. But hey, I don't eat there anymore, so I'm not worried.

And you can get a stomach bug or food poisoning from all the items you're allowed to eat.

I say, eat away ladies!

Found another one! I'll c&p the relevant parts, it's long. The part that kind of surprised me is that hardly anyone commented on the fact that her BF wasn't on her side.

The biggest issue in our relationship is his parents. Prior to baby, they thought I was the best thing ever. After we told them about the baby, I became an evil leach after their sons house and money. They kept telling him how controlling I was, he deserved better, that I got pregnant on purpose. They'd call him and tell him how the baby would ruin his life. It was terrible. And he believed them. For 3 months, I had to defend myself. Needless to say, I have a very sour taste in my mouth from them. I understand they were trying to protect their son. But c'mon. We both have good careers, are stable financially. Inconvenience in timing was not a valid reason to terminate in my mind.

...

Now it's time to choose a hospital. My BF is offended that I want my mom present at the birth, but not his. I don't even want her in the waiting room. What complicates things is she is a charge nurse at the hospital that is closest to my home.

Holy hell. Her boyfriend needs to grow a set and not allow his parents to say/do that bullshit to the mother of his child, and realize that if she doesn't want the BF's mom remotely near the delivery room she doesn't have to.

Here's another one whose parents pay for everything and he can't multitask, therefore getting a job is out of the question:

On the What to Expect forums and a girl is talking about how she was told by her DOCTOR that you should only use OPI polish when you're pregnant because of the chemical composition. She's bummed because Essie has a better color selection.

THE FUCK?!?!?

[joolz]

That is insane.
