BIZARRE PREGNANCY MYTHS

So, here are a few bizarre myths that we have busted today about pregnancy that have been doing rounds all over the internet. 

Eat for two

The first and most common myth that has surfaced over the years is that ‘a pregnant woman should eat for two.’ Though a pregnant woman indeed needs to increase the calorie intake during pregnancy, overeating can be harmful.

In the first trimester, a woman can take on their regular diet without taking any extra calories. In the second trimester, the calorie intake should increase to 340 calories per day, and after that, 450 calories are recommended in the third trimester. 

No exercise

A light to moderate exercising pattern is healthy for you as well as your baby. Walking, yoga, aerobics, and others are recommended but in an abate way. Consult your doctor before you start exercising and also ask him about what all movements you can do. Exercising during pregnancy can also be beneficial later after your delivery. 

Morning sickness occurs in the morning only.

Despite the name, morning sickness can occur at any time of the day. According to a survey conducted, only 2% of women experience morning sickness in the morning. 

You can predict the baby’s sex.

Many people have different ways of predicting a baby’s sex. But let us tell you, all of these are baseless. A female's looks during pregnancy, or how round her belly is, and others are referred for determining the baby’s gender. 

However, none of these methods are accurate. 

A pregnant woman will always look fresh and glowing.

Pregnancy involves several hormonal changes, mood swings, tiredness, which can take a toll on your overall health. It is very typical for a woman not to feel happy and glowing all the time. 

Takeaway

Believing everything that people say can only leave you in distress. Listen to your gynecologist and do as they say. Blindly believing everyone can only make you stressed and anxious.
