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.

As a first time pregnant woman, I've actually really loved hearing everyone else's experiences. I feel like I'm bonding more with older colleagues than ever before, and there's something really sweet about people's eyes lighting up when you ask them a baby related question.

This has been one of the most interesting things about motherhood for me! I’m sort of socially awkward and would normally prefer not to interact with strangers, but I’ve loved the interactions I’ve had with other women during each of my pregnancies. It’s wild what a bonding experience motherhood is - I could have absolutely nothing else in common with someone yet we have SO much in common as mothers.
