The biggest area of potential risk, as far as I have read is overheating early on in pregnancy. I also have a link to my blog post on this (discussing teratogens...). But the most important is letting your body be your guide and resting, eating and rehydrating when you feel you need it. Good luck!

I remember hearing back in college that there was an association between selenium in the soil and decreased risk of cancer - and I have been pondering that odd fact ever since. I need to look up more information. <br /><br />Your friend in Portland sounds fun. I would love to chat with him or her. I keep thinking about how to extend the commune idea to an entire region or state. I could write an entire blog post about it - but basically the idea is self-sustaining, no cheap crap from China, no people adding vitamin E to things, etc. Only buying items and food made right there. Hmmm.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-57765699467674100882012-06-30T03:39:15.818+02:002012-06-30T03:39:15.818+02:00Steve- I would only consider Vitamin E deficiency ...Steve- I would only consider Vitamin E deficiency in the differential diagnosis in the following patient:<br /><br />Paranoid Schizophrenic man of Middleastern descent who believes he is being instructed by God to eat every one of his remaining meals on earth at Dairtý Queen and has a burning sensation in his feet and legs.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-57208582118989209072012-06-30T03:32:03.543+02:002012-06-30T03:32:03.543+02:00Brianne- I will gladly make your clothing in the c...Brianne- I will gladly make your clothing in the commune! ;)I think some of my readers have answered you question about bloating below.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-77858765994983924162012-06-30T03:31:08.176+02:002012-06-30T03:31:08.176+02:00Mapp- just send me an email with your address and ...Mapp- just send me an email with your address and I'll send you the copy when we're done reading it.

I am also very happily 6 weeks pregnant and your blogs about that are my current lifeline! I am wondering if you can comment on running through the fatigue... I am starting to feel the fatigue, but am also used to running through it, so am curious at what point it would be harmful?

I have been avidly reading all your earlier blogs on pregnancy and LOVING them. I am a medium and log distance triathlete and a marathon runner and am very happily 6 weeks pregnant. I am feeling the early fatigue and wondering how much to push through. As an athlete i am obviously used to pushing through the tiredness and fatigue... but now with a little being inside me I want to be sure not to do anything that will actually cause harm. At what point is pushing through the fatigue bad? Obviously I would stop if there was actual pain...Magskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-24296043190365999942012-06-29T19:13:02.037+02:002012-06-29T19:13:02.037+02:00Interesting! I did not know Vitamin E is toxic. I ...Interesting! I did not know Vitamin E is toxic. I know selenium is, in high amounts, but don't we need a small amount? Is is the same deal with vitamin E? How much is toxic? Ok ok, I will look on wikipedia. <br /><br />I also didn't know I should be alarmed about sugar free gum. Xylitol is touted by the Whole Foods type people as being healthy. I've never shit myself after eating a piece of gum; I don't think it will replace morning coffee! (to be clear, I've never shit myself after coffee either)<br /><br />I have a friend in Portland who's obsessed with starting a commune.

It is really quite possible for those on a typical American fast food diet to be deficient in Vitamin E.<br /><br />I can't believe people eat sugar-free anything. They replace sugars with sugar alcohols (xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol) which are laxatives! or with coal tar derivatives (most artificial sweeteners) or unknown-in-nature chemicals (aspartame) or with the new darling stevia, which has never been studied in humans except anecdotally. We're talking about 2-5 calories in gum! Why risk your health for 5 calories?!SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-70296726776541879412012-06-29T16:14:56.727+02:002012-06-29T16:14:56.727+02:00I'd live in your commune for the food but I wo...I'd live in your commune for the food but I would have to import my own clothes. Sorry:) Does sugar free gum contribute to bloating? I only chew about 2-3 pieces a day but have been feeling a little thick in the middle lately. Could it be the carbonated water?
