Misconceptions about pregnancy

Many misconceptions about pregnancy include beliefs like needing to eat for two, which can lead to unnecessary weight gain, or that pregnancy always triggers morning sickness. Some think exercise is unsafe, but gentle activity is actually beneficial. Others believe all pregnancies are the same, but experiences vary widely. It's also a misconception that pregnancy complications are rare; while many women have healthy pregnancies, risks exist. Understanding that pregnancy involves physical and emotional changes, and seeking personalized medical advice, helps dispel myths and promotes a healthy, informed pregnancy.
