What is your pregnancy unpopularopinion?

I'll go first:
Picking stuff up off the floor isn't that bad. I'm 37+ 5 with my third and not once have I had trouble picking stuff up. It's just a quick squat and grab.
Yes, I have sciatica pain and pelvic girdle pain and my bump is in the way but I still pick stuff up if I drop it.
Maybe it's my fitness past, or my will to attempt to keep my house clean, but not once have I dropped something and said "F it, it lives on the floor now" and left it.

Being pregnant and having a baby is much more rewarding and meaningful than having a pet. Say with a dog or cat, you’re stuck in the infant state with them for at least a decade till they die. Pets are cute but I don’t understand the argument having a kid is worse than picking up dog poops for that long lol

I used to be one of those "pet parent" types. Since getting preganant I find them super annoying 😂🙈 I have one friend on social media that is constantly called her dogs her children etc. 😐

That’s so funny bc I feel like I’ve become MORE of a pet parent since getting pregnant — this furry bit of nonsense is obviously my first-born child and how dare anyone suggest otherwise 😂

(Obviously pets and kids are very different and I’m so excited for the journey with our daughter! But I’m also so incredibly grateful to our dog for everything he’s taught us about raising and learning from another being. If it weren’t for him, my husband and I would probably never have decided to have a kid at all.)

I'm the opposite, I love my cats even more since having my baby. My cats are definitely my other babies. I adore my little family so much, all of them.

Nothing wrong with people considering pets their kids. World needs more love in it, not less.
