First, I'm glad I'm here reading this thread as I've been allowing more carbs than usual since I found out I was pg (partly craving, partly stress, partly tempermental tummy). There's been a lot of inspiration here to tighten up and focus more on the fruits and veggies. For that, I thank you.

Second, what I found amusing about this thread, was DirtyWater always had an answer. Of course, the OB office had nurses doing LC and how convenient for DW's argument that they were the ones to reinforce the no LC message during PG. Clearly, DirtyWater has spent a lot of time thinking through her arguments which is to be applauded, however, what I found lacking imo was any good research on the other side of the debate. It's not enough to find data that proves your point, you've also got to research the other end of the spectrum.

Anyway, great thread!
