Is it safe...

So here is what I learned today...There are a lot of stupid pregnant people in the world. Seriously, so I was perusing through a website the my OB's nurse suggested I look to find some more information about being pregnant. I mean, overall I think it's a great site and there is a lot of helpful information on there, but added to that are some of the most ridiculous questions I have ever seen. I mean how many people had to ask these questions before an "expert" decided to write an article about it...


For your enjoyment, here are some of my favorite questions I came across...Seriously, I couldn't make this stuff up

1. Is it safe to eat large amounts of chocolate? I mean, is it really safe to eat large amounts of anything? I chose not to see the answer to this questions.

2. Is it safe to get a tattoo during pregnancy? I can see how someone would be confused as to whether using a needle to permanently inject your body with some type of ink into their skin is safe. Sounds totally safe to me! What class of society really has the urge to go out an get a tattoo while they are knocked up.

3. Is it safe to bowl while pregnant? I just may start a pregnant bowling league.

4. Is it safe to ride in bumper cars while at an amusement park while pregnant? Here is my issue with this question...I don't go to amusement parks to ride the bumper cars. Why is there not a "Is it safe to ride roller coasters?" question. By the way, there's not.

5. Is it safe to live in a house that has been painted with lead paint when pregnant? I say, just avoid chewing on the walls...

6. Is it safe to use the microwave during pregnancy? This one made me think of my youth. Thanks mom for putting my high chair right next to the microwave. I turned out fine, so go for it!

7. Is it safe to have termites exterminated while I am pregnant? Umm...


I don't even want to tell you guys about all the "Is it safe to do XXX during sex while pregnant questions. There are a lot of them and none of them seem safe to do while not pregnant.


This site also lost a significant amount of credibility when it said one of the "Pregnancy Must Haves" was a pair of overalls...I mean really? Did they survey a bunch of women from 1992!?!?

Anyway, I thought this was humorous and thought it would be fun to share it with you!
