Answers to frequently asked questions, please read!

1. Stretch marks are genetic, you either get them or you don't. Regardless of how much/what kind of lotion you use.(personally I use cocoa butter and it definitely helps fade them but nothing can prevent them.)
2. Sex won't harm your baby unless you do some crazy freaky positions or go super duper hard. Normal sex will cause no harm and can be performed throughout your pregnancy unless your Dr for some reason discourages it.
3."Am I pregnant?!" questions, I'm sorry this needs to be said. We are not your Doctor and if you don't even know for sure that you are pregnant than how do you figure strangers on the internet can tell you if you are or not? Take a test!
4. You cannot upload a profile picture on here from the mobile app you have to go to the main website.
5. Spicy foods etc won't hurt your baby.
6. You can find out the sex of your baby as early as 15 weeks but it's a lot more accurate around 19-20 weeks.
7.Most woman feel their baby around 20 weeks, but remember every pregnancy is different.
8. Smoking and second hand smoke do harm your baby, common sense.

*That's all I can think of for now, feel free to add.*

I'm surprised nobody said anything about all the "who's the father of my baby" posts. We are not DNA tests if you slept with multiple men in a short time period the only way to tell who your baby's father is is by getting a DNA test done! Not asking a bunch of strangers The state will provide one if you apply for child support(or at least thats how it works in my state). I honestly think these more dumb than the "am i pregnant" posts.

^actually sushi is on all the DO NOT eat food lists. You can get really sick from it. Seafood that is cooked is ok as long as not high mercury. But sushi is a def no no. Please don't eat it.

Also seafood/sushi is OK.  Swordfish or other crazy fish with high mercury levels are not.  

I took castor oil with my first and it was a terrible mistake.  Please please please don't try it.

leave the baby in! I know that we all get tired toward the end of pregnancy, I was almost two weeks late with my last, but they are in there because it's the best place for them! if you want your baby to have the best chance, you need to let it come out when it's ready if you don't have any medical issues. 39 weeks is the MINIMUM! believe me, I've been to where I'm tired of being pregnant, excited to meet my child, etc but it's not worth it!

Craving anything other than food is NEVER ok!!! You can't eat sand for gods sake!!
PICA and VERY bad for the baby if you act on it. Bottom line: you have to tell ur dr.
AND DONT EAT SAND!
