What is the most ridiculous advice/warnings people have given you during your pregnancy?
I figured this could be fun. I cant be the only one who has had friends and relatives give me the most ridiculous warnings during my pregnancy. I know they mean well, but it definitely gets frustrating sometimes when everyone suddenly thinks they know better than my doctor. Here are some of my favorites.
1. "Dont vacuum or sweep. The back and forth motion is bad for the baby."
2. "Dont raise your arms over your head or you could wrap the cord around the babies neck."
3. "Dont move around a lot. Spend most of your time sitting. If you walk or exercise, you will overdo it. You just need to rest"
4. "Jet skiing is fine, just drive slow."
5. "You can safely have 1 drink of alcohol a day because I did and my kids turned out ok."
6. "Even though twisting to clean the shower is uncomfortable, you should still do it and not have your husband clean it. I never made my husband clean the bathrooms. That's not a guys job."
