People want to feel like they are being heard and respected, so I would listen to her and empathize first. Woman get thrown a ton of stuff when they are pregnant and have plenty of opportunity to feel stupid so adding to that probably won't help you. You can still give her those facts but give it to her in a way that she can research on her own, like a good website, after listening to her. If you make her feel respected and give her the tools to do her own research then she feels smart. Whereas if you tell her she's wrong(dumb) and just tell her things she won't want to hear it because she will feel like she's being treated like a child.
