Flying, Coffee, Dyeing Your Hair, and More: OBGYN Busts Myths About Pregnancy

I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant, thankfully my husband was not in the room for the cat litter debunking! I’m gunna let him continue with litter box duties throughout my pregnancy 😉

I am a RN with a masters in high risk perinatal nursing now retired from a 35 year career in the field including back in the day childbirth education classes. I have just recently found your channel. You two are wonderful educators - very engaging evidence based transparent and thoughtful. Just wanted to say well done and thank you! As well as extending best wishes to you and the growing family!

I live in Mexico, if spicy food induced labor we would be in great trouble lol

I'm so happy I found you guys! I'm 43 years old and pregnant for the first time. I'm 9 weeks and feel amazing, I had doubts about dying my hair, exercising, having sex, etc. Thanks for all the info!

I have been exercising throughout my pregnancy in large part due to your video that you put out on the subject. I don't always feel like doing it, but I feel like it helps SO much! As my body changes, working out helps my muscles adjust and makes everyday tasks less challenging and uncomfortable. I really like Pregnancy and Postpartum TV for workout routines.

Congrats on baby #2! 😊 Your videos have been getting me through my first trimester and easing my mind. Thank you both for sharing this information in such a comforting and down to earth manner.

Omg!! Congratulations on your 2nd baby. I’m going through my first pregnancy and watching videos from your first pregnancy gave me so much piece of mind and are helping me feel prepared. You guys are amazing ❤

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, and I was watching all your old videos back in 2020. I had no idea you're pregnant with baby#2 congratulations!!! This is my first pregnancy, needless to say I'm nervous and terrified. Your videos are the reason I haven't lost my sanity 😌 Thank you both, for all your great information, time and effort you put in these videos ♥️ Edit: I just wanted to thank all mamas in the comment section who shed positivity and gave me hope, when I was terrified... My baby boy is 4 months old now, and the amount of love I have for him is just undescribable. Thank u mamas❤

I COULD HAVE DYED MY HAIR THIS WHOLE TIIIIIMEEEE I’m gonna cry in a corner for a little bit

Congratulations on a baby number 2! ❤❤❤ I’m 24 weeks pregnant 🤰🏻 with my first child, just recently discovered your channel and enjoying very much! Thank you very much guys! 💗

Fun fact: that 300ish extra calories for a third trimester baby is comparable to the daily caloric needs of a cat! Which makes sense, because they're similar in size. 🤣

30 weeks with my first baby and have recently Found your videos. Binging them all before baby girls birth ❤

I love your calm approach! Thank you for being so reassuring, always 💛

Thank God I saw this! I am 24 weeks and I have been a hardcore back sleeper for a few years and I've had the hardest time trying to sleep on my side every night and always worry until I feel her move when I have woken up on my back!

I am almost 34 weeks pregnant with twins, and I remember being so worried about drinking coffee or having caffeine. My OB and MFM doctors said I could have 1 cup of coffee, which I have been doing. Both of my babies are measuring in the 91st percentile. I would like to see more data and information in the future about caffeine consumption and growth. Very interesting!

Thank you for this. I come from a Hispanic family and a lot of them like to say all these myths and I understand where the mom is coming from but I don’t want to limit myself when my moms are not doctors and every pregnant women can be different. It’s my first baby and I don’t want to feel like a disabled women and not do any workouts or have some caffeine or eat some things. But I really appreciate this video !!

thank you for this. im 20 weeks pregnant and i believed most of these before i saw this video!

All was so great ❤and useful during my first weeks! Now halfway through! 😘😘😘

I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been trying to sleep on my Left side as “recommended” I have not slept well at all because of this. I was never a left side sleeper and my body manages to turn on my back in the middle of the night or at least I can do the right side. Thank you for discussing this myth! This is good to know.

It’s my first pregnancy and I want to thank you for creating this channel!!! All of your videos are so great and informative ❤ I was clueless but now feel more knowledgeable about this amazing journey 🤰🏻
