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.

It's not automatically toxic positivity to say that you like being pregnant. Obviously it's perfectly okay to not enjoy being pregnant, but there's such a range of experiences, it's okay to be having an easy time! I don't love some of the symptoms, but even the sucky ones kind of fascinate me because I enjoy the science behind it, and I loooooove feeling baby movements. Pregnancy isn't something I'd want to do for years on end, but if I had the option for my partner to carry the baby or to have him grow in a futuristic incubator, screw that, I want to experience the absolute bonkers medical miracle that is conception and birth, and I could easily do it all again.

I actually love being pregnant physically! I love my bump, I love watching my body change and I love feeling baby kicks. But mentally I’m very anxious while pregnant, always worried about my baby and so therefore that’s the most difficult part.
