I love some weed, but please don't listen to people who don't use medical facts when giving medical advice.

@twnsn yeah, I love this show and I really enjoy Ally as a comedian, but this is something that someone could see, agree with and be in serious harm. Dulas are fine, but you need to make sure you are getting advice from multiple medical professionals and not just a spiritual guide through the process.

[@UltraMegaChicken]

Fish, as a food grouping, is quite beneficial, and recommended during pregnancy; there are, however, quite strict limitations recommended. Large fish, like tuna, have a relatively large amount of mercury in them. Limiting the intake of tuna, and thereby mercury, helps to not expose an unborn child to mercury poisoning. It's just a precautionary measure. Similarly, limiting eating soft cheese, sushi, sprouts, and cold cuts, is to limit exposure to listeria (common food poisoning), salmonella, e. coli, and toxoplasmosis. These, as well as caffeine, may lead to preterm births, low weight births, or, tragically, miscarriages. Alcohol...I can't believe that Ally was so incensed, as to intimate that it is fine to drink alcohol while pregnant. Of all these things, the science is clear on this: alcohol consumption will irrevocably fuck up a child. All those limitations are precautions. Will a negative effect occur everytime? No. But, you wear a seat belt when you get in your car for the same reason: what if?

I took that last statement of "smoke a joint and give birth at home" to mean quite literally that. Smoke a joint while in the process of labour during a home birth. Which I mean, why not? Seems like a perfectly reasonable way to mitigate pain and considering the fetus isn't going to be a fetus for much longer, I don't see it effecting them at all.

[@stevengoldsworthy2079]

​@K-Anator that's the last statement, before that she says "you shouldn't limit any of those things" which includes caffeine and alcohol. And the list she gives at the end would need punctuation to determine if it is "smoke, birth, be fine" or if it's "smoke and give birth and be fine" but there was no first and, so grammatically she said a list, not a sequence

[@ajc1080]

@@asserm.8047 Um actually, (at least in my circles) a joint is all cannabis while a spliff is a mixture of cannabis and tobacco (or even other plants). Although originally spliff was a Jamaican/West Indies term for what I would call a joint, but Europeans began using the term to mean a mixture. I started smoking spliffs because I went to college with kids who had gone to International (French) High School in San Francisco and picked up the habit from visiting France. The reason spliffs are so common in Europe is because hash is much easier to transport/smuggle than flower and rolling your hash up with some tobacco makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience of smoking concentrated THC than smoking it out of a pipe. Bonus: 'sport cig' is what we call a spliff that contains more tobacco than cannabis. I know you didn't ask, but you're welcome.

@@asserm.8047 also not to mention that prenatal exposure to thc and other cannabinoids is linked with ID (Intellectual Deficiency) in children. The effects of marijuana on a developing brain are extraordinarily dangerous. Frequent and regular use of Marijuana by those under 25 is linked quite substantially to lowered dopaminergic cycles and a decrease in serotonin production while also increasing re-uptake. In essence prolonged use of thc as a late as early adulthood can cause permanent depressive and neurodevelopmental damage to the chemical processes that regulate the human brain. This doesn't even mention the risks associated with schizoid personality disorder which can be a development of early childhood exposure to thc. Do not do drugs or drink alcohol while pregnant is a pretty simple thing that a whole host of people refuse to listen to for no even remotely good reason.

The rest are also pretty bad. Out of all of them, yogurt is the only one that's completely safe and the rest should be avoided in general. Alchohol, caffein, and other mind altering drugs can heavily affect the childs development, things like sprouts, sushi, and unheated deli meat can contain bacteria and other contaminats that is easily handled by an adult bodie can be dangerous to a developing fetus who's relying completely on the immunity system of the parent as it has yet to fully develop its own. Matters over everyday medicine should always be taken up with a medical proffessional, and over-the-counter stuff like adderall and paracetamol should be avoided. If there is any doubt even for a moment over anything, contact a local MD as it's better to ask and be right, than risk it and be wrong.

Ally is giving great advice if you want your child born with birth defects if they are born at all. Seafood is great for mercury poisonings of the fetus that results in diminished mental capacity. Deli meats are great for bacterial infections which can lead to physical deformities or miscarriage's. Soft cheeses can lead to stillbirths and miscarriage's by a long list of illness with similar symptoms to food poisoning. And don't even get me started on drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and their long long list of birth defects they cause. Just because a man discovered these issues doesn't mean you can disregard them.

@@potmki6601 THC exposure in prenatal development is linked to higher incidence rates of ID, ADHD, and serotonin related mental health problems not only in childhood but later in life. THC can cause permanent neurodevelopmental damage to young adults let alone the impact it can have on a baby's brain. It can lead to an imbalance in the production of dopamine causing symptoms similar to ADHD (it is technically different because it is not genetic and doesn't involve norepinephrine). THC and other cannabinoids can bond to receptors in the brain and act as SSRIs to an extent. Prolonged exposure to serotonin reuptake inhibition in early childhood and prenatal development is linked with permanent disfunction in the reuptake and production of serotonin leading to sometimes quite extreme deficiency problems more commonly referred to as MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). This is why pregnant women generally cannot take anti-depressants. Also like anti-depressants THC is linked to prenatal serotonin syndrome which can be fatal.

I don't think the point is that you should smoke heavily while pregnant, but rather that small amounts of any of those things is very unlikely to have an impact on the baby. Like you shouldn't go out binge drinking, but a lot of doctors now say it's fine to have like, a glass of wine with dinner.

[@Silverizael]

@@jeaugust Sure, a glass of wine is fine. None of the other stuff that was listed is fine. Especially the ones that could have pathogens. You have no control over whether the small amount you're exposed to has pathogens in it or not, since it's not an amount issue there. Either there is bacterial contamination or there isn't.

Um, actually, while it is correct that Tonks' patronus changed based on her love for Remus Lupin, It was not, as Gutz implied at the end, a result of her marriage. Her patronus changed before that, when she had expressed her love for Lupin, and he rejected her because he thought he was too old and wolfy for her. It is also stated that a patronus does not change based on love, but because the character has had an emotional shock of some sort.

[@risottopose9970]

Least favorite part of the episode but all the other Ally jokes were funny

[@russelljohnson7004]

um actually, Ally said that you shouldn't limit any of those FOODS. alcohol is a drug, the definition of which precludes food, and is a beverage to boot!

[@Lone77Wolf]

Tuna = high enough consumption could lead to mercury poisoning though would have to be a lot, but much less so for developing baby. Alcohol is a drug but it is IN foods wine, beer, etc and can cause fetus alcohol syndrome. Caffeine is not encouraged but you can lightly drink it, but really shouldn't as the baby is getting it and can lead to issues developing. Sprouts as Trap said have issues with dangerous bacteria. Sushi has issues with parasites. Unheated deli meat and soft cheeses though it is rare can be contaminated with Listeria and you most likely will lose the baby.

[@ComicalRealm]

That 5am energy though

Ive really liked Ally shes been one of my favourite but im kinda thrown off by the fact she thinks its perfectly fine to eat and drink whatever you want when youre pregnant, as if chain smoking or drinking alcohol is somehow not bad for an unborn baby.
