Pregnancy advice is never delivered calmly—it’s always “don’t do that” followed by a sentence that makes you freeze, clutch your belly, and spiral at 2 a.m., so in this episode we unpack the most dramatic pregnancy rules you’re warned about and the fear that comes with them, from sleeping on your side and waking up on your back, to deli meat, caffeine, hot baths, reaching overhead, kitty litter, sushi, soft cheese, exercise, stress, and even crying, breaking down what the risks actually are versus what’s been wildly exaggerated, adding the missing context no one ever explains, and reminding you that these guidelines are about reducing risk—not living in fear—because you’re not fragile, your baby isn’t constantly in danger, and most pregnancy rules make a lot more sense once someone finally explains the “why.”
