Pregnancy Do's and Don'ts

For when you need the facts'not fear'about what food, drinks, activities, and procedures you should avoid during each month of your pregnancy. Over the years, Dr. Elisabeth Aron has soothed the worries of many soon-to-be moms who have come to her with questions such as:' Can I exercise during my first trimester? ' Is canned tuna safe to eat throughout my pregnancy? ' Do self-tanners contain chemicals I should be worried about?' I have to fly for work during my second trimester. Is this safe? ' Is cookie-dough ice cream safe to eat? ' Can I wear an underwire bra during my pregnancy? ' I'm six months pregnant. Is it alright for me to have a glycolic peel facial? ' Are peanuts safe to eat or will my baby develop a peanut allergy if I eat too many? ' There is a lot of chlorine in my health club's pool. Is that a good or bad thing? Pregnancy Do's and Don'ts includes hundreds of entries on possible concerns'from apple cider to zinc and everything in between. In each entry, Dr. Aron identifies the item, the possible cause for concern, and explains the bottom line'whether it is something a woman should avoid completely, something to take a better-safe-than-sorry approach toward, or something that is perfectly fine.

Acetaminophen
Acetaminophen, also known as Anacin-3(r), Datril(r), Panadol(r), Tylenol(r), and Valorin(r), is an over-the-counter pain medication (see Pain relievers) and fever reducer. It is an ingredient in numerous cold and flu remedies (see Cough and cold suppressants).

Concerns: A scientific study noted a link between high (almost everyday) acetaminophen use in the third trimester of pregnancy and wheezing and asthma in children. There was no link with average or high use prior to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Acetaminophen has been assigned a pregnancy risk factor category of B (see Appendix 1). Although controlled studies have not been performed on humans, there is no evidence that taking an occasional acetaminophen or two during pregnancy causes any problems. Further, a prolonged high fever in pregnancy could cause problems for the baby, so you should always try to bring a fever down with acetaminophen.

Why must I activate my Adobe Reader?

Many publishers require powerful copy protection for their eBook titles. In order for you to be able to purchase and download eBook titles that have been secured for distribution, you first need to activate your Adobe Reader. Just as a credit card typically must be activated by a bank before use, your Adobe Reader needs to be activated before you can purchase and read eBooks packaged for secure distribution.

Can I print or copy my Adobe ebook?

To protect copyrights, publishers and authors establish their own guidelines for how much of their eBooks can be printed or copied. This means that these permissions will differ from book to book. Each ebook file has a differing level of encryption which is controlled by the author/publisher at creation. For example, a publisher might give users the ability to print several pages of a cookbook within a set period of time. You'll see specifc settings for the Adobe title under the ebook description.
