This is just an opinion, I think there is a lot of bruhaha over the wrong things while women are pregnant (in order to cover physician's asses) and not enough attention to the correct things. We're led to feel like suddenly we're totally vulnerable and if the wind changes it's "bad for the baby." Feeling dis-empowered the worst thing for a pregnant woman and unfortunately most of the mainstream stuff thrown at women while pregnant contributes to dis-empowerment. I can imagine becoming alpha would increase the health of a pregnancy and the woman would be someone who takes actions towards having a healthy pregnancy and taking charge of her birth. Don't get me started on birth and the hysterics and panic over it by ignorant people, leading to traumatic and horrible experiences for both mother and child. Yes I speak from experience not theory and like I said this is just an opinion and my own tiny soapbox.
