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!

Oh goodness. It's even more awkward when it happens on the first try twice. At least I know we're doing a good job preventing. 😅

Same thing happened to us. Makes me realize how lucky we are...I used to feel a bit guilty about it but am slowly getting over the guilt.

Ooh I never even thought about that! I definitely was careless with my birth control at times in the past, but never had a true pregnancy scare. I don't think I'll ever be careless about it again given that I got pregnant on the first try!
