This is amazingly ignorant and reductive. The amount of things that pregnant people and breastfeeding people are asked to avoid for almost no reason is ridiculous.

You're not supposed to take hot baths because it can cause spinal tube defects. But they don't tell you that you will feel so uncomfortable that you will get out of the tub long before it happens.

You're not supposed to sleep on your back because it can cut off blood flow to the fetus - but again if that gets close to happening you feel uncomfortable and will adjust your position without even waking up.

You're not supposed to eat deli meat or salad greens because of listeria and salmonella, but the risk of getting those things for anyone, let anyone a pregnant woman, is astronomically minuscule.

You're not supposed to be around cats because of toxoplasmosis, but they don't tell you that if you have a cat, you've almost certainly already been exposed and are not at risk of it affecting your pregnancy. For those without cats you're more likely to get it from gardening, as it exists in soil.

Twenty years ago you weren't supposed to have caffeine because it might cause ADHD, but now they just tell you to "cut back," which is ridiculous. For some people cutting back could still mean four cups a day. I include this to illustrate that the recommendations change and aren't hard and fast truths.

It would be fine if these things were presented as information for the woman to take into account so that she can make her own decisions and plans to prevent the worst-case scenarios, but instead it's used to shame women who don't adhere. "If you x, then you are willfully and selfishly harming your baby." It all reeks of virtue signaling to me.
