🤰 Being pregnant is a beautiful journey—but it’s also full of conflicting advice, old wives’ tales, and internet myths. Let’s bust some of the most common pregnancy myths and uncover the scientific truths every expecting mother should know:


🔹 MYTH: “You must eat for two.”

✅ TRUTH: You only need a few extra calories in the second and third trimesters. Focus on nutrient-rich foods, not doubling your intake.


🔹 MYTH: “Pregnant women should avoid all physical activity.”

✅ TRUTH: Regular prenatal exercise, such as walking, yoga, and stretching, helps reduce stress, improve circulation, and prepare for delivery. Always consult your doctor for a safe routine.


🔹 MYTH: “Morning sickness only happens in the morning.”

✅ TRUTH: Nausea and vomiting can occur any time of the day and vary in severity. Every pregnancy is different.


🔹 MYTH: “Heartburn means your baby will be born with lots of hair.”

✅ TRUTH: There’s no medical evidence to support this. Heartburn is caused by hormonal changes and relaxed digestive muscles.


🔹 MYTH: “Flying during pregnancy is dangerous.”

✅ TRUTH: Air travel is usually safe up to 32-34 weeks of pregnancy for low-risk cases. Always get clearance from your obstetrician.


🔹 MYTH: “You shouldn’t eat spicy or sour foods.”

✅ TRUTH: Unless it causes discomfort or acidity, you can enjoy your favorite foods in moderation. Balanced nutrition is key.
