Q. I am trying to track down an older book I once owned with pictures of developing fetuses, presumably from failed pregnancies, and information on each stage of pregnancy. Not "A child is born", it is much older. My copy was only about 30 pages long, paperback, in black and white. Thanks for any suggestions!
A. Not sure but this may help:

What things should I avoid while pregnant?
Q. I am 18 years old and this is my first pregnancy. I took two hpts and both came back positive, now I am going to schedule an appointment to get bloodwork done. But I was just wondering what type of stuff I should avoid during pregnancy. Any information would be most appreciated. =]
A. - soft and blue-veined cheese, such as Camembert, Brie and Stilton. (There is no risk of listeria associated with hard cheese such as cheddar, cottage cheese or processed cheese),
- pâté (any type, including vegetable),
- certain prepared salads such as potato salad and coleslaw, and
ready-prepared meals or re-heated food, unless they are piping hot all the way through.
- Avoid food containing raw or partially cooked eggs, such as homemade mayonnaise, and some mousses and sauces. You should only eat eggs if they are cooked until both the white and the yolk are solid.
- Avoid unpasteurised dairy products.
- Cook all meat and poultry thoroughly, and take particular care with products made from minced meat, such as sausages and burgers.
- Make sure these are cooked until they are piping hot all the way through and no pink meat is left.
- Take particular care with meat at barbeques, parties and buffets.
- Bacteria breed quickly on food that is left uncovered in a warm environment.
- Make sure that raw meat does not come into contact with other food (for example in the fridge), particularly food that is already cooked or that will be eaten raw.
- Always wash your hands after handling raw meat.
- unwashed raw fruit and vegetables,
- raw or undercooked meat, and
- unpasteurised goats' milk or goats' cheese.
Waterskiing, horseriding, snowboarding, downhill skiing or surfing may be your favourite sports but put them all on hold while you're pregnant. For now, you should avoid any activity that puts you at risk of falling. That includes activities like tennis or cycling if you're not used to them, as your sense of balance may be altered. Vigorous jogging that puts pressure on your joints or back should also be avoided. Scuba diving and other 'pressurised' sports are out since air bubbles can form in your blood stream as you surface. These bubbles are very dangerous for both you and your growing baby. Cross waterslides and most amusement park rides are off your list too, as a forceful landing or sudden acceleration or deceleration could harm your baby. Some studies show that raising your temperature during early pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects so you should avoid saunas and Jacuzzis, as well.
Also avoid exercising in the heat and if you were a couch potato before you got pregnant, don't suddenly take up strenuous exercise now. After week 16, avoid exercise that involves lying flat on your back with raised legs, such as sit-ups, as the weight of your uterus may press on major blood vessels.

A. too much sun, hot dogs, cold cuts, feta cheese (and any unpasteurized cheeses), Tylenol is one of the only safe pain relievers during pregnancy, don't take cold & sinus medication, don't dye your hair, try to eat healthy, Bendryl and claratin are fairly safe for allergies, avoid hot tubs. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head...other than obivious things like sky-diving, bungee jumping, etc. : )
