Unpopular Opinion

Ladies-I’m gonna be quite frank with you. I’ve seen a lot of posts over the last few days about what’s safe and what’s not while you’re pregnant. Don’t let this pregnancy completely rule your entire life, your every meal, your every activity. Use common sense. Many of the things being asked have the same level of risk whether you’re pregnant or not.

I understand being cautious and fearful of something terrible happening. I get that! I’ve been there and I respect that! But I drove myself nuts with my pregnancy with my daughter. I lost a baby before I was pregnant with her and that caused me to be ridiculously stressed with my next pregnancy! This time around, I’m so much more laid back and it shows. I’m not stressed about this pregnancy and I’m enjoying it so much more than my pregnancy with my daughter.

So my advice here, is to just use common sense. Figure out what you’re comfortable with and don’t stress about the little things. Eat your steak, eat your cold cuts, enjoy your time with your kids if you have them already...and relax! These babies are healthy, growing, thriving and resilient!
