When I was pregnant with Teo I got so pissy about well-meaning people pouncing on me ("don't eat that cheese! your bath is lukewarm, I hope..? oh my god, don't get the red wine vinegrette!") that I started writing a document about the things people try to scare pregnant women with, and an analysis of the real risk.

The only thing I didn't like about her article is that she confuses normal pregnancy queasiness and vomiting with hyperemesis gravidarum. The former is unpleasant; the latter, while very rare, can be life-threatening and usually requires some hospitalization.
