You have heard the sayings about if you step on a crack you will break your mommas back.
Or having a black cat cross your pass will curse you,plus you have the ladder myth or 7 years of bad luck from breaking a mirror.
Well I guess im going to have bad luck because I have thrown and shattered many mirror. But do you also know that there are pregnancy myths too.
The Spicy Food FraudSpicy food will bring on labor.- hahaha yeah right, I haven eaten spicy food so far through out my pregnancy and im not in labor. If anything,eating spicy food while you are pregnant will only cause heartburn.
The Fetal Heart Rate FallacyIf your baby's heart is low, you're carrying a boy. If it's high, it's a girl. - Nothing can determin the sex of your baby except the genetic material from your partners sperm. People carry in many different positions because of how the placenta is,the way the baby is laying or just how you grow.
The You-Can't-Be-Too Careful Yarn .If a pregnant woman raises her hands above her head, she'll choke her baby. - Please,let me smack the idiot who said this.
The Steamy Sex Superstition
Making mad, passionate love will induce labor. " No it has been proven that making love with your partner will not cause labor. Baby will come when baby wants to come out. All sex does while being pregnant,not only makes you feel relaxed and comfortable,it lulls your baby to sleep.
The Old Heartburn Harangue ,if a pregnant woman has frequent heartburn, her baby will have a full head of hair. - Read the spicy food myth. Plus nothing you eat will determine your babys hair. I was born bald,go figure.
The Sty-in-the-Eye-LieThose who deny a pregnant woman the food she craves will get a sty in their eye. - Funny myth,but not. Styes are just caused my bacteria. I would know,I have had one while being pregnant,it hurts,but not because I was denied food.
So there you have it.
