I totally agree What to Expect When You’re Expecting
is too restrictive for pregnant women.

I put that book away once I got better advice from friends and the website BabyCenter. I was more scared of my c-section and giving birth and that book is DEFINITELY too scary to read!!

I sometimes wonder if we take things to far. I too believe in mother’s instinct. I think we live in a paranoid society, for example, sterilize everything to death – include all the good bugs we need.

The old saying, ‘mother knows best’ still hold true.

I actually found inaccuracies in What to Expect. And that was before I threw it against the wall multiple times.

LOL, I give my sister a hard time about stuff like that. Not just what you can and can’t do during the pregnancy, but all the things you can and can’t do or feed them when they’re babies and toddlers.
I couldn’t help myself at my nieces first birthday party but to look at all of us who have had kids before and say “Wow, we’re sure lucky our kids have survived!” lmao. All these things you “can’t” give them until they’re such and such an age, ummm yeah, chances are my kids had it ALL before they were a year old, and I couldn’t ask for healthier kids!

I’m a HUGE believer in mother’s instinct! It’s natural for we women to have it, I say follow that and you and your babies are going to happy and healthy!

“What to Expect” is such BS .. I read that book and it made me nutso also. Try a book called “The Joy of Pregnancy” – I’m reading it now (not pregnant, hoping to get there again soon) and so far it’s way less “OMG NO NO NO!” than “What to Expect”

Congratulations
