🤰 1. “You must eat for two”
Myth: Pregnant women need to double their food intake.
Truth: You only need about 300–400 extra calories/day in later pregnancy—not double. Overeating can lead to complications.
🧒 2. “Carrying high or low predicts baby’s gender”
Myth: Belly shape tells if it’s a boy or girl.
Truth: Belly position depends on muscle tone, baby position, and body type—not gender.
🍍 3. “Eating papaya or pineapple causes miscarriage”
Myth: These fruits are unsafe in pregnancy.
Truth: Ripe papaya and pineapple in moderate amounts are safe. Only unripe papaya (in large amounts) may be risky
