GC, listen to your doctor and avoid the crazy-making information on the internet. I freaked myself out last week by doing some googling on Spina Bifida and pregnancy. I don't plan on doing that again. No, I'm not pregnant and don't plan on being so for a while.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

GC, I think you should pick one board with reasonably sane discussion (and a minimum of glowing emoticons, if that can be managed--sometimes a challenge on the mommy corners of the internet) and avoid the rest.
ETA and the diet in WTEWYE is just there to make you feel guilty, IMHO.

What The Whitefont Says, GC.
I tested the forum waters at a few other parenting sites before running screaming back here. Those people are CRAZY.
[eta that I've had much better luck sticking to the comments section of a few choice mommy blogs - they're more about parenting than pregnancy, but tend to be less out-of-control craxxxy than, say, babycenter.com message boards.]

Reading all this stuff, you wonder how there are any children on the planet. Stepping away from boards/books for now.

We ARE fanatics. Just not the fatwa-having kind, or the kind that think wearing a silver bracelet can purify one's blood.

babycenter.com message boards
Bwah! That is where I've been lurking (on the LGBT boards). Nice group of people, but a little crazy making as you apply their experiences to yours when they may be totally different.
ION, peanut-butter filled pretzels are the YUM!
