    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

      Breastfeeding isn't Real
      I never thought of breastfeeding. In fact, I never saw anything with a woman doing it, so I figured it wasn't something moms did. I mean some, but since my great aunt used Carnation Condensed Milk to feed her kids in the 50's (I can't grasp this concept anymore) -- then it must be irrelevant. I DO wish I had known how painful it could be. Even doing it right.
