Myth 1: Pregnancy is for two people
This is a familiar advice that almost every pregnant mother has heard. However, there is no scientific basis to confirm that pregnant women need to eat double the portion. Eating too much does not help the baby feel healthy but can also cause the mother to gain too much weight, making the birth process difficult. Instead of feeding two people, pregnant mothers should eat enough nutrients and consult a doctor to build a reasonable diet.
Myth 2: Moisturizing will erase skin fat
Moisturizers can help soften the skin and reduce the risk of sagging, but once sagging has appeared, no cream can completely remove them. Regular skin care is only partly preventive.
Myth 3: Pregnancy should not be affected by exercise
Proper exercise during pregnancy is not only safe but also very beneficial for the health of mother and baby. Just avoid exercises that strongly affect the abdominal area. Pregnant mothers can choose gentle exercises such as walking and yoga to help the body stay healthy and give birth more easily.
Myth 4: Sexual intercourse during pregnancy is dangerous
Many people are concerned that "those things" will have a negative impact on the fetus, but that is not true. For most healthy pregnant women, sex is completely safe - it can even bring a feeling of closeness and comfort.
Myth 5: Your hair cannot be dyed during pregnancy
Some people believe that chemicals in hair dye can harm the fetus. However, most studies show that this risk is very low. Pregnant women can completely dye their hair if they choose a safe product with few chemicals and ensure an airy environment when using it.
