As for what to eat when your pregnant... ***... every time I hear people harp on about this stuff I just laugh to myself and wonder how any woman gave birth before knowing all this ***... then I think about all the things medical professionals tell you is bad then later on tell you its not bad and then later on sometimes even tell you that its actually good!
It's just so ridiculous.

We didn't even want grandparents around right away, but we're both sort of hermitty in general. I get how for some people it's a bigger sort of family event and they'd want people there (or want to be there and don't consider the other side). Part of the problem is that the hospital bombards you with people (for us, anyway) - nursing coach, photographer*, the pediatrician, etc.
* = I'd like to think I can keep my cool in most situations, but photographers showing up in our hospital room, taking a bunch of pictures and then hitting sleep-deprived, not-sure-this-isn't-a-dream new parents with some outrageously priced packages, hoping to capitalize on your overwhelming and unbalanced emotions, was infuriating. I made it pretty clear we were not interested. The wife still claims it's the angriest she's ever seen me. That stuff is predatory.

I never understood why people thought it was cool to jsut show up to the hospital when the birth is happening. Putting myself in the place of the mother after having to push another human out I doubt id be in any condition to or really want to see or talk to you.
When my neice was born I just told them that if they need anythign to let me know otherwise just to call me when they were ready to show off the baby which ended up being about two weeks later.
The grandparents were the only ones in the hospital for the birth.

When both my half-brother and cousin were born I was requested to be there, in the case of my cousin my parents and I as a group. But yeah. As an adult I don't particularly want to be there day one anyhow. Newborns are...kinda pruny and gross, to be honest.

Yeah...I frequently wonder how much is actually necessary and how much is "Well, just in case, stick to fruit [but only some kinds!], bread [unbleached whole grain!], and water [filtered!]!"
That said, on the fish topic, the mercury thing is pretty well born out, if you'll pardon the pun.

There's so many different stipulations for fish. I bet you're getting fresher fish in Denmark, too. If you think about societies whose primary diet was supplemented by fish (Nordic, Japanese, etc.), I'd say fish is okay. We're all still here. Granted, the mercury content in fish probably wasn't as high as it is now.
We get a lot of herring, cod, salmon, and unflavorful shrimp. Tiny shrimp that Danes put on rugbrød and fish dishes that mostly taste like water.
Stjerneskud is pretty awesome.
Quote:
I had sushi once while pregnant. I'm not sure if the lady who owns our favorite joint is Korean or Japanese (I thought it would be rude to ask), but she didn't bat an eyelash and even joked about the wasabi inducing birth. The "spicy" food thing might be cross-cultural.
I think you're right about cross-cultural ideas on foods for pregnany women. When we were in Hong Kong many foods were touted as good for pregnency and others discouraged.
Quote:
Yeah! Real key lime pie! Can you get most of the ingredients in Denmark at least?
Limes, yes. Key limes, no. Everything else is available. I might see if my in-laws will bring a bottle when they visit, but fresh squeezed is best!! /keylimepiesnob

Wow, I've not heard of this. That is all kinds of wrong.
Yeah. I consider myself a pretty mellow guy most of the time, but that incensed me. It's doubly infuriating because everything else at that hospital was so nice, and so pleasant. What are they thinking, allowing that?
[+]
I can understand taking a pic of the baby, one or two quick pics on a cellphone but...and this is going to sound odd from me, think about it from the mother's point of view; you're sore, you're tired, you probably aren't looking your best then some person comes in all like "Smile!" Yeah, no. Let the mother rest and just heal.
EDIT: To put it into one word, I'd think it'd be uncomfortable.

>.> My sister was a moron and *hired* a photographer for her baby's birthday...
Although it was a nice picture. And she invited everyone but me to the whole thing. Pretty sure even Nik and Rooks got an invite.
Then for her son's first birthday, she hired another photographer and had the birthday party at a water park.

Oh, if you invite them in, awesome. We actually have a bunch of pictures from that first day that I took myself (some on the phone, some on a real camera). Pictures are great!
Ambushing emotionally compromised people with predatory, byzantine picture packages is not.

It's not unusual for people to hire photographers.
Sounds like your sister doesn't like you and you're bitter about it.

Eh, perhaps a little bitter about it. Thing is, she has zero reason at all to dislike me that much to not bother inviting me to such large family events.
Considering I did save her from a few savage beatings from our dad multiple times. Of course, I ended up taking those savage beatings except for one. Instead he threatened me with a tire iron under his couch.

Ah. But you've had the honest to goodness key lime pie, so I think you're within your right to be a key lime purist.
I have never heard of a photographer hanging around the hospital either. That has to be bizarre.
Since our hospital is a Catholic network, we had a nun come a kockin' and blessed our family. That was interesting, seeing as though neither of us are very religious. We weren't aware that that would occur, not that we were offended.

Yeah, no, I get it. I'm just saying I can't imagine showing up at someone's birthing uninvited. That seems incredibly rude and presumptive. Especially given the intimate nature of actual birthing vs. entertainment's representation of birth.

Goosh! August in OK. Jebus! That would suck towing around third trimester throughout the summer.
I bet the weather is more accommodating/mild for Kara in August.

Here's some advice for you guys... LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE WHEN THEY'RE HAVING A KID UNLESS THEY SPECIFICALLY ASK YOU TO BE THERE!
The baby will be around and you will have your chance to see the little ***... until then let the parent relax and adapt to their new life. Having to deal with all you yuppies wanting to put your hands all over their new treasure is mostly annoying and unwelcome. come back again when you've been called.

Nik, with today's retirement plans, you won't retire until 20 years after you end up worm food.
Scratch that, you're evil. 90 years after you're worm food.

See... I was told the best fish tacos are in Merritt Island Florida...
That's the thing about foodies... there's always someone else saying the best whatever is over there... and then they fight about it and I just walk away and go eat by myself at that point.
