here come the symptoms

i am six weeks one day today, and i've been talking to my belly and saying "give me a sign" and i think i just got a couple - nausea, and i realised that i, uh, haven't gone in a while.

meantime, i've been looking all over the internet for a nice straightforward list of what a pregnant lady shouldn't be eating. straightforward, don't you think? but no. i have found a million "articles," each of which mentions some things but not others, focussing on one problem only (mercury poisoning, say), and often burying the information within paragraphs explaining background in detail.

all this because someone mentioned they wanted a ham sandwich. i had no idea ham was on the "no" list.

anyway, i put together a list compiling all of the info that i've found so far. maybe i'll post it later.

meanwhile, i think i need to eat still more fibre.
