Question from April



I know pregnant women need to ask a doctor about medicines for a yeast infection, but is there even a problem for pregnant women to use something like monastat 7? Does a doctor have to be consluted first. I know it is recommended to do so, but I want to know if there was an over the counter medicine availble without a prescription.

Question from Nymph



I was wondering what you eat if you’re pregnant and a vegetarian. I mean, don’t you need to eat meat to keep both you and the baby healthy? I was watching an old rerun of Friends when Phoebe was pregnant and she’s a vegetarian but she had cravings for meat and ended up eating it anyway. If you’re a pregnant vegetarian wouldn’t you become iron deficient anemic? Or can you just continue to eat vegetables and have some kind of iron supplement?

Question from HoneyDew Meloncholy



I mean, because they can’t tell from looking at you, you don’t have the “pregnant” belly because you are already overweight.
What do you say to let people realize you are pregnant?
How do you feel when people can’t tell that you are pregnant?
Just curious because I offered someone a cigarette and she was really surprised that I couldn’t see she was pregnant!

Question from jaydee03



My mom is around two months pregnant, and she would not eat because
1. She feels sick
2. There’s a bitter taste in her mouth that makes her lose her appetite

The only thing that she likes to put in her mouth are chips because they taste sweet. I have been asking her whether she has any cravings and she had said no, she does not have any. What should I cook for her? I am a very worried daughter, both for her and my future sibling.
