Question 1

is lobster safe to eat during pregnancy like in a bisque? only raw seafoods or high mercury fish like tuna are a problem, right?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The main concern is mercury and the larger fish which eat the smaller fish concentrate the mercury and are more risky. Fortunately, lobster doesn't eat very large fish.

Question 2

is sex safe in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Normally yes: As long as there are no risk factors for preterm birth, placental problems, or bleeding, sex is safe in pregnancy.

Question 3

is lithium safe in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No.: Lithium is not safe during pregnancy. For one thing, it can cause cardiac/ heart defects in the baby ( epstiens anomoly). Lithium has a narrow margin of safety ; therfore, the fluid shifts that occur during pregancy may effect lithium levels, putting both the mother and baby at risk. If a woman is on prescribed medications and becomes pregnant, she should notify her doctor immediately.

Question 4

is nauzene safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's basically just sugar and aspartame (nutrasweet).  As long as you don't have phenyketonuria, you can take it.  I am not a fan of aspartame anytime, and i think it's especially important to avoid as many artificial chemicals during pregnancy as possible, so i wouldn't recommend nauzene. There are other nausea treatments that i'd use first (try ginger tea).

Question 5

is brinjal during pregnancy safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: By Brinjal, do you mean Eggplant? Only in the Indian cultures Brinjal is suggested to be avoided during pregnancy (Ayurveda) A normal eggplant has lots of vitamin A, dietary fiber iron. These are essential nutrients that are needed during pregnancy. It is believed that eggplants contain large amounts of phytohormones that may cause contractions so  use your judgement. Moderation is key.

Question 6

what workouts are safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Many but : Any exercise that is recommended by your Obstetrics Doctor m

Question 7

is there a safe natural way to terminate a pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

I am not aware of...: One in about six pregnancies abort spontaneously, usually early in pregnancy (first trimester). Elective abortion/termination should be done under supervision, especially later in pregnancy, as bleeding and rate of infections tend to increase etc..
So, i strongly advise that you consult your doc for advice/instructions...
Good luck.

Question 8

is lipo safe in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Are you nuts?: Your body is going to change a lot during and after pregnancy. If you really have to have liposuction, wait until at least 6 months after the baby is born.  I suppose liposuction could be performed during pregnancy, but there would be risk involved due to the anesthetics used. I doubt you could find a reputable surgeon willing to do it.

Question 9

Why are you asking? : In the us ; canada, ketrax (levamisole) has two uses: deworming livestock ; as an adulterant for cocaine. It was removed from the us market in 2000 ; from the canadian market in 2003 due to toxicity to include agranulocytosis. It is not safe during pregnancy.
