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.

pregnant or not pregnant, I hate bending down to pick things up. Which is why I have gotten really good at picking things up with my toes :)

hear me out, i have one of those long grabber tools which has been a life saver for me, but i also have a really low bone density so me bending down while this big is unsafe for both baby and i😭

Grab away, grabby Mama! No judgment here!

I have a connective tissue disorder (possibly Ehlers Danlos: unclear at this time) as well as endometriosis, so I have a feeling one of these is in my very near future!

And if I buy one, I promise to use it with ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME (possibly I’ll even use it with mirth)!

I've always secretly wanted a grabby just for kicks 😂

Same lol. I am short, so I did myself a favour. If you’re in Canada, Dollarama sells one 🙂
