đ¶ Fact vs. Myth: The Truth About Pregnancy That No One Warned You About (Except Maybe Your Weird Aunt)
Written for the beautifully swollen, slightly terrified, and probably snack-stashing among us.
Ah, pregnancy. That magical time when youâre glowing like a moon goddess, strangers want to rub your belly like itâs a lucky Buddha, and your bladder has officially retired from service. Weâve all heard the stories, some sweet, some strange, and some that belong in the urban legend category.
At PacaPod, weâre in the business of organised parenting (with a side of panache), so we thought weâd help separate fact from fiction. Whether youâre preparing your hospital bag, hunting for the best baby changing bag, or just trying to survive the third trimester, hereâs a little clarityâand comic relief.
Â
Â
Â
đŒ MYTH #1: âYouâre eating for two!â
Â
FACT:
Technically, yes. But unless your second passenger is a rugby player, you donât need to double your portion sizes. That said, if you want an entire block of cheese at 3 a.m., go forth, dairy warrior. We support you. And donât worry we make baby bags with food pods so you can stash snacks and dignity in one neat place.
Â
Â
Â
đ§âïž MYTH #2: âPregnancy gives you a radiant glow.â
Â
FACT:
What they call âglowâ is often just a heady mix of hormones, overheating, and mild panic. Yes, you may look dewy because youâve been crying at dog adverts again and canât find your dry shampoo. But with a stylish baby changing bag slung over your shoulder, no one will notice your mismatched socks.
Â
Â
Â
đ MYTH #3: âYouâll crave pickles and ice cream.â
FACT:
You might. But cravings come in all flavoursâfrom mud (yes, really) to sponges to that one brand of peanut butter you havenât seen since 2003. Luckily, our parenting bags with compartments mean you can carry all your âemergencyâ suppliesâno judgement, just cleverly compartmentalised calm.
Â
Â
Â
đ MYTH #4: âPregnancy is a beautiful, glowing journey.â
FACT:
Â
It can be. But it can also be acid reflux in your ears, cankles the size of toddlers, and crying because someone ate the last biscuit. Itâs messy. And chaotic. Which is why we believe the right baby changing bag can go a long way toward soothing the chaos.
Â
Â
đ©âïž MYTH #5: âMorning sickness only happens in the morning.â
FACT:
Oh honey, itâs 24-hour roulette. Nausea doesnât check a watch. It just kicks the door down like a hungover party guest and settles in. Thatâs why we suggest always having a well-organised mum bag on handâwith wipes, water, mints, and maybe a miniature fan.
Â
Â
Â
đ„ MYTH #6: âYouâll forget all the pain the moment the baby arrives.â
Â
FACT:
Youâll probably forget enough to consider doing it again. But youâll still remember that time you screamed âI hate you!â at your partner during contractions and refused to let him eat his hospital sandwich. Bonus tip: put a spare snack pod in your PacaPod baby bag so no one dares touch yours.
Â
Â
Â
đ MYTH #7: âYouâll be super organised before baby arrives.â
Â
FACT:
Organised? Possibly. Overwhelmed by lists, nesting urges, and endless parenting blogs? More likely. But thatâs where PacaPodâs award-winning baby changing bags come in. Theyâre not just bags. Theyâre the ultimate parenting essentialâdesigned to calm the clutter, soothe the chaos, and help you feel one step ahead.
Â
Â
Â

No matter what myths float your way, this is your pregnancy. Whether itâs serene or slightly unhinged, full of belly laughs or gentle sobs in the car park, just know: youâre doing it right.
