Is okay to eat chili while pregnant?
Eating spicy food while pregnant is fine for mother and baby (who only gets a very small fraction of what mother consumes). If a food won't agree with you such as peppers (hot or sweet), spices, etc., then your stomach will let you know ... you'll get heartburn or bad gas and all you have to do is stop eating it. Women who are pregnant can have some very weird cravings (caused hormone changes) so eat what you feel like, but watch that weight gain. DON'T GO ON A DIET, but eat healthy because you are also feeding your baby.
One WikiAnswerer heard that if you crave lots of spicy food while pregnant, your baby is most likely a boy. Another argues that it's a bit of delightful nonsense, but if you want spicy food, eat away.
Is is normal to have appetite loss during 37 weeks of pregnancy?
I don't know how normal it is to lose weight early in pregnancy, but it certainly is not unusual or uncommon.
I lost several pounds during my first pregnancy. And I ended up having a very healthy 10 pound baby boy who is now a healthy and energetic 5'7" 12-year-old. He's a gifted student with above average intelligence; happy and outgoing with many friends; musically talented, technically inclined.
Obviously, my losing a few pounds in my first trimester didn't hurt him a bit.
Have a little faith in your doctor.
Congratulations and Good Luck!
I have to agree, listen to your doctor. With my first child I lost ten pounds and with my second I lost almost 20. Both from being sick so much in the first trimester. But had an end result of two very healthy baby's.
I'm in the 14th week now and still having nausea and morning sickness. I have lost 9 pounds+. The frequency of vomitting has reduced and it's like 1-2 days a week but when I throw up, I throw up the whole day. Can I hope to get better in next 2-3 weeks ?
With my first child I was sick the first five months, as well as having a bout with E-Coli, lost 19 lbs. Gradually gained it back so at the end of the pregnancy I had gained a net 1(one)lb. An 8 lb boy with the brain of Einstein, and as cute as Ashton.
I lost over 15 pounds in the first 12 weeks, and am currently 18 weeks, and not gaining it back quickly at all. My doctor says I am doing great, so that is what I go by! I would talk to your doctor to be sure.
I was super sick the first 12 weeks, and currently have about 1/3 of the appetite I did before I ever got preg. I still throw up every now and then, and have horrible indigestion! I have wrote it off as I am just going to be one of those "unlucky" ones! :) Just think of it this way...it helps not to OVER eat!
pregnancy weightI'm in the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy and i am starting to lose weight I'm already a thin person weighing only 56kg at 184cm in height, but in the last 3 days I've gone from 56 to 53 and now I'm 52.... I'm going to buy another set of scales even though the ones i have are only a few weeks old, i cant help but think this inst healthy.... i eat a lot more than i used to and i get nausea but don't throw up... its weird.. i just don't know how I'm losing weight..A lot of women lose weight during the first trimester. I lost about 5 pounds. I was told it has to do with your body adjusting to the extra hormones. I didn't get morning sicknes at all. Now I'm 36 weeks and the worst thing I experience is very bad heartburn. I have started to get lightheaded though. Throughout the day though I get very sharp pains in my groin muscles, and around the vagina (where the groin muscles come together. I have gained a healthy 20 pounds so far, and am all baby. Though they say she's only going to be maybe 7 pounds, very nice....
with my first baby i was 2 stone lighter when i gave birth than when i concieved i now have a healthy 2 year old 92cm boy who weighs in at around 36lb with my second i was 1 and half stone lighter when i gave birth than at conception he is a healthy 1 yer old boy at 79 cm and weighs in at around 25LB so i dont think it does cause harm well not in my case anyway
How much weight can a pregnant woman lift safely?
I read this article and it said that the only problem to lifting heavy weights late in the pregnancy was because of the womans center of balance being thrown off and she could hurt herself. But lifting weights over twenty pounds did not effect the baby's growth or cause defects.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20023745/
I think its ten pounds and under it could be twenty so be safe and stick to ten
I have a very physically demanding job and I am in my first trimester. Can I remain as physically active as I was when I was not pregnant. If so, at what time should I not be lifting as much. I am lifting anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds.
Is steroids safe during pregnancy?
Im not a professional in anyway, but I have the same concern. My doctor told me that he has had patients that have taken steriods while pregnant, but he would prefer you DONT. He said it is possible that the steriods can mess with the growth of the baby. I'm 3 months pregnant and was taking prednisone for the first two months. Everything looks fine so far. The baby has only two arms and 10 fingers, it appears that there are no extra limbs or missing limbs. :O) I look forward to hearing from a doctor or someone who knows more info on this subject.

Is it bad to eat too much pepper?
I actually believe that the asker/OP(original poster) may have meant the pepper,that you sprinkle on food. not a Capsicum.
And actually the pepper you sprinkle on food has been proven that its healthy. Piperine is an alkaloid found in black pepper,Some of the benefits of it-means weightloss,another helpful thing about piperine is its ability to promote bio-availability of nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamin B6, amino acids, selenium, glucose, and curcumin. and Some other helpful things that can help your health.
if you don't believe it, look it up :)

If you are pregnant and you get scared can that affect your pregnancy?
well if you find out that you are pregnant and start to become extremely terrified...it sort of can affect your pregnancy. For example when a person is sad that usually leads to depression and anxiety. That would affect the pregnancy because it is not a healthy state for a young baby to be in ;)

Is it ok to get your lip waxed while pregnant?
She can, but it is not advisable. One of the not uncommon complications of piercings is infection. Some infections require treatment with antibiotics. Some antibiotics can cause problems for a developing fetus. Then there is the slight possibility of a major infection such as hepatitis, that could potentially end the life of the child and potentially the mother as well.
Be the mom. Don't be selfish. Think of the child you are carrying first and more than you do for yourself--the child is totally dependent upon you for this.
