The Do's and Don'ts of Pregnancy

Congratulations, you're pregnant! Before long you'll be counting your newborn's fingers and toes. But for the next ten months, it's your body that's a temple (albeit one with swollen ankles). Of course, you're wise to all the commonsense taboos: no booze, no smoking, no kickboxing. But new research on maternal health emerges daily, and chances are, you could stand to brush up on the guidelines, even if this is your second (or third) trip to the maternity ward. We asked ob-gyns to share the latest thinking about what to do--and not do--while you're expecting.
