@ohiwishyouwerehere you will find a huge amount of contradicting information throughout pregnancy. I have no idea why you wouldnt take pregnacare (other than I know many cheaper brands that do just the same thing), and everyone eats ginger-based things when they are pregnant! These days there are a million things you 'shouldnt' do during pregnancy which you try not to do on your first baby and then crack and do anyway, and then dont bother worrying about on your second haha. I would stick with the basics; try stay away from regularly taking paracetamol, dont take ibuprofen (its a blood thinner and can cause problems with the placenta), dont drink a lot of alcohol (a half glass every few months wont cause damage), and generally try to eat well (well cooked food, healthy, not a lot of sugar). Thats it. Oh, and take everything people say about 'dont do this, dont do that' with a pinch of salt. If a medical professional says it, ask why and then do a quick google search, but common sense must also prevail (eg ginger is in a lot of stuff so it cant be that dangerous). Its a minefield trying to navigate it, and its all about making you feel guilty for not being perfect for your baby, which is impossible. Its hard to ignore it.
