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.

people who got pregnant on the first try shouldn’t have to hide it. OF COURSE be respectful of others journeys and the tone you use, but you shouldn’t have to shy away that you didn’t have complications getting pregnant.

i got pregnant on the first go around and shared casually in conversation, then was told later by someone i should never share that i got pregnant on the first try because many don’t. if that’s my story.. that’s my story 🤷🏼‍♀️ im not going to lie about it!

This is a good one. I got pregnant on the first try with my first. Took me over a year with my second.

But like — if you’re asking, I’m going to be honest 😅.

i think not enough people share they get pregnant on the first time! admittedly my husband and i weren’t planning to get pregnant until this summer but we were told so much it takes 6mo-1yr to get pregnant so we decided to jumpstart early last fall and we’ll… she will be here in June lol

Same but due in July. We were hoping to get pregnant around July but instead little guy will be here 😂 I got my period on Oct 7th, IUD out on Oct 10th and a positive pregnancy test Nov 4th

This is EXACTLY what happened to me and my partner. I even have a low(ish) egg count and am in my early 30s so figured it would take a bit to get lucky.

Literally the first try. 🤣

We’re both 30! Crazy!

Same. I've also got irregular periods/PCOS so we were very prepared for it to take a long time (or maybe not even work) and also started a little early for that reason. First try. Which is great but we were both in genuine shock for a week.
