Do you find yourself giving advice to people you would have never wanted to hear when you were pregnant or before your kids reached a certain age?

We were at trader joe's yesterday and a guy offered his shopping cart to us and then told us that his wife was 6 months pregnant and they were having a girl. Then he asked me if I had any tips and I said "sleep now."
I realized afterward that I hated when people said that to me when I was pregnant but now I realize why they said it!

yes I definitely do this. Mainly because it WAS good advice but I didn't follow it for whatever reason and wish I did!
