The poll of 2,000 mums revealed ‘where can you buy maternity clothes?’, and ‘how much weight should you put on during pregnancy?’ are among the other top queries.
And while mums-to-be have traditionally turned to their own mother for advice, 78 per cent said the internet is now their first port of call for help.
Other common searches include ‘what vitamins and minerals are important to consume during pregnancy?’, ‘how long does morning sickness last?’ and ‘how much folic acid do you need?’
The study, commissioned by Vitabiotics Pregnacare vitamins, also found the typical mum-to-be will ask four different questions every day while they’re expecting – more than 1,000 in total.
But worryingly, 78 per cent said they have received conflicting answers, with 15 per cent saying the advice was ‘extremely different’.
It also emerged those polled trust their midwife the most for pregnancy information (51 per cent), followed by their own mum (34 per cent), and doctors or other health professionals (33 per cent).
And more than one in five (21 per cent) said they consider the internet to be a reliable source.
A spokesman for Vitabiotics Pregnacare said: “Pregnancy is an exciting time but can also be a worrying period – especially when it is your first and you are experiencing everything for the first time.
“But having the internet at the touch of our fingertips now can mean we can easily search for different answers we might need – however strange the question may seem, so it’s vital to ensure the source of advice is authoritative and trustworthy.
“There is so much to take in while you are expecting, even for those who may have been pregnant before, as no two pregnancies are the same and advice can change over time as well.
“Whether it’s looking for ideas on what to call your baby or questions about what food and supplements you should be eating, there is no such thing as a silly question when you are pregnant.”
Following the findings, Pregnacare has created a quiz where you can test your knowledge of some of the most commonly asked questions during pregnancy - https://www.vitabiotics.com/
The study also found 63 per cent of women said they found pregnancy to be a worrying and confusing time, with 87 per cent feeling they had lots of questions.
And 57 per cent of women said food and nutrition, including what you can and can’t eat, and the vitamins and minerals you should consume, was one of the most confusing areas about pregnancy.
Searching the internet was the most common way to ask a question (67 per cent), along with asking a midwife (59 per cent), speaking to their own mum (48 per cent) or friends (46 per cent).
More than a third also turned to baby and pregnancy forums online while 17 per cent went on to social media.
But 56 per cent think they asked more questions through Google than they did of people ‘in real life’, with six in 10 admitting to typing in queries they already knew the answer to.
More than two thirds (67 per cent) of the women polled, via OnePoll, even went as far as to say the internet was their lifeline when they were pregnant as it allowed them to ask the questions they were too embarrassed to ask people in real life.
A spokesman for Vitabiotics Pregnacare added: “As it can be a confusing time, Pregnacare aims to make the choice over which are the right vitamins to take in pregnancy as easy as possible.
“It is supported by unique clinical research and is the only prenatal supplement to receive the Queen’s award for innovation on the basis of its research.
“Thanks to this, independent research has shown Pregnacare is the pregnancy supplement brand most trusted by mums and most recommended by midwives.”
