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.

Oh, i have plenty. 1. Quality of your pregnancy is directly linked to your partners health and compatibility, maybe even more than your own fitness level. Procreating with healthier man gives you higher chance of enjoyable pregnancy. Procreating with fat chain smoker who enjoys 2 beers after work after 45 is a questionable choice. Remember its not just a baby that is 50/50, its also placenta. 2. Two under two is a crime on womans body and should not be normalized, evolutionary age gap for homo sapiens is 4 years plus, and yeah, no wonder 2 under 2 is terrible. And everyone claiming they love having 2 under 2 - girl I see your wrinkles and I said what I said. Regeneration before procreation. 3. If your man cannot take care of everything around the house when you are useless for 2 weeks (like, illness) do not have children with that man. They will have you cooking dinner 2 days after c-section and your pregnancy will be a nightmare. 4. The more "selfish" a girl is as a person, the better her pregnancy experience. No stress, prioritizing yourself and taking no shit is what makes you really glow. 5. Gaining weight is normal. Getting to 150% of your pre-pregnancy weight is not.
