One common misconception I've encountered is that pregnant women are fragile and need to be treated with extra caution. In reality, many women continue to work and engage in normal activities throughout their pregnancies, as long as they are healthy and have clearance from their healthcare provider.

Another misconception I often come across is that morning sickness only happens in the morning. In fact, morning sickness can occur at any time of day and can be quite debilitating for some women.

I've heard people say that pregnant women should eat for two, but in reality, women only need to consume an additional 300-500 calories per day during pregnancy. Overeating can lead to unnecessary weight gain and potential health risks for both the mother and baby.

There's a misconception that pregnant women should avoid all forms of physical activity, but staying active during pregnancy can actually have numerous benefits for both the mother and the baby. Of course, it's important to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing any exercise routine.

Some people believe that pregnancy is a time to be pampered and treated like a fragile princess, but many women find that they are just as capable and independent during pregnancy as they were before. It's important to support pregnant women in maintaining their autonomy and agency throughout their pregnancy.

A common misconception is that all pregnant women experience mood swings and emotional instability. While hormonal fluctuations can affect mood, not all women experience extreme mood swings during pregnancy. It's important to recognize and support pregnant women in managing their emotions and seeking help if needed.

I often hear people say that pregnant women should avoid all forms of caffeine, but moderate caffeine consumption (less than 200mg per day) is considered safe for most pregnant women. It's important to be mindful of overall caffeine intake and consult with a healthcare provider about individual recommendations.

There's a misconception that women should avoid all forms of seafood during pregnancy due to concerns about mercury contamination. While certain types of fish should be limited or avoided, seafood can be a valuable source of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids that are important for fetal development.

One misconception I encounter frequently is that pregnant women should avoid all forms of medication, including over-the-counter drugs, at all costs. While it's important to be cautious and consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication during pregnancy, there are safe and necessary medications that can be used to manage certain conditions and symptoms.
