- As I'm sure you know by now,
there's a whole list of stuff you're not supposed
to eat or drink when you're pregnant.
Alcohol, too much caffeine, raw eggs,
soft cheese, cold cuts, and raw meat and fish, like sushi.
Ironically at week nine your baby is about
the size of a sushi roll.
And his reproductive organs are starting to form
along with his pancreas and gallbladder.

I could punch you in the face right now.
And that's totally normal!
Because mood swings are common at this phase.
They should ease up a little in the second trimester,
just be extra nice to your friends then.
Take them to Chili's or something.

Let's tackle three of the most persistent
pregnancy misconceptions right now!
One, if you're carrying high, you're having a girl.
No, the sex of your baby has nothing to do
with its positioning.
Two, if your hands are dry, you're expecting a boy.
What? No.
Use lotion.
And three, hairy babies give moms heartburn.
This one's actually weirdly true.
Who knew?
Ooh, feeling a little right now.
Got a hairy one in there.
It's like a troll.

Why is zika still a thing?
Well if you're not familiar the illness is linked
to a birth defect called microcephaly
which can lead to incomplete brain development,
small head, and serious vision abnormalities.
It's become prevalent in several other countries
including Brazil, but there have been cases in the US;
including Florida, Texas, and Illinois.
The zika virus is transmitted by a certain type
of mosquito and symptoms can include
fever, rash, red eyes, and muscle pain,
and sometimes there are no symptoms at all.
There's also no vaccine or medication
available to treat zika, so the best thing to do
if you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant is
avoid visiting anywhere a zika outbreak has been reported.
If you must travel to a place with mosquitoes
protect yourself with repellent and long sleeves and pants.
All bundled up at the pool.
At least you're safe.

People love to give pregnant women advice,
even when they didn't ask for it.
Here's your daily dose of unsolicited advice.
Don't get a new pet when you're pregnant.
You're already about to get a new human.
Potty training two living beings at the same time
will not be fun; that is a lot of poop.
Peeyew.
No thank you.
Will not do.

There's a lot of stuff you're expected
to give up when you're expecting.
Join me now in a moment of silence
as this pregnancy pause is dedicated to Mexico.
Shout out to Mexico, sorry we can't
vacation in you right now and eat all your avocados.
Call us when zika is gone?
Ring ring.
Hello, Mexico?
I miss you.
Margaritas.
