10 Things You Don't Have To Do When You're Pregnant

Being pregnant is a right of passage.

Is that so wrong? Look, we aren't saying you can't do these things while you're pregnant, we're just saying you don't have to.

(Okay, so actually-- you really shouldn't do this one, it's not good for baby.) Let somebody else handle this mess while you're expecting. Or thinking about expecting.... really any excuse to get out of this is a good excuse.
