    7 Crazy Misconceptions I Had About Pregnancy, Birth, and Babies

    I'm a huge advocate for knowing about your rights and your body. However, it's hard to be your own best advocate when you know so little about your own body. You need to know what your body is doing in order to be the best advocate for yourself. But, I didn't always know much about how things worked. In fact, I had very little knowledge on how anything to do with babies, pregnancy, and birth worked, until I had kids. Here, in all their uneducated glory, are my 7 misconceptions about pregnancy, birth, and babies: - By Diana Stone

      What's a Uterus like?
      I wasn't sure what a uterus was, but I had a pretty good idea it was a round ball that waited for a baby to be planted in it. By something. Or other. Sex ed fail.
