Many myths and misconceptions surround pregnancy, some of which have been debunked by scientific evidence. Understanding these myths can help expectant mothers make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Consuming excessive calories can lead to unnecessary weight gain, which can increase the risk of pregnancy complications.
