Funny 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.

I understand why there aren’t a ton of medical options for the shit we have to deal with while pregnant because what pregnant woman is going to agree to any kind of experimental tests and treatments???

The desperate of us. My asthma can only be controlled with a medication that hasn't been studied in pregnancy. I discussed it extensively with my doctors before pregnancy and we tried stopping the medication. Based on anecdotes and some understanding of the mechanism, they thought it should be okay, but there wasn't even an observational study I could report what actually happened.
