What bad advice have you been given?

Vi

From the time you conceive it seems like everyone has a comment or advice to share and some of it is COMPLETE crap!

For example my friend with three kids told me the other day that because my body was producing colostrum if I didn’t start pumping at 34 weeks my milk would dry up before baby arrives 🤦🏻‍♀️. FALSE!!!! My body is preparing for baby and will continue to produce colostrum until after birth before my

Milk comes in, pumping is not recommended as it can put me at risk for preterm labour.

I swallowed the ball to my tongue ring because if popped off during lunch and I had some lady tell me it was going to get stuck in my babies umbilical cord and suffocate the baby. She was a mother of two. FALSE! My digestive tract is not directly connected to my uterus it will come out in my poop🤦🏻‍♀️

Please share some of the silly inaccurate advice people have given you?
