What is the the most ridiculous old wives tale you have been told about pregnancy?
Answer:
That a pregnancy is G*d's will!
Hold a needle over your belly, which way it sways determines sex.
Morning sickness early in the pregnancy determines sex.
You grow hair on your belly button...heard that in middle school 15+ years ago. Wow!
having your arms raised above your head while lying down will wrap the cord around the baby's neck
conception on a full moon will be a boy
well t get rid of your sickness you balance a glass of water and eat a lemon
Belly up= baby boy,
belly down=baby girl
Actually I don't know if that one's true but it just seems rediculous!!
my lady friend swears she started to grow a weiner as a smptom of being pregnant. but it never completed its development. it was like a crotch coming out between her hip and her private.
she had to have it operated on so now it is just like a deformed bump there...
Yes I do. The most ridiculous one I have heard is the one about the virgin mary being knocked up by god.
yeah that if you break out during pregnancy you will have a girl coz the baby gal steals all your beauty ..lol
An old lady once told my friend that if she washed her hair too soon (this was a few days after the birth) she would die! Faint, I would understand, but to die is a bit extreme. She washed her hair and is still going strong!
The most ridiculous one I heard (and I heard a lot when I was prego) was that if you push too hard while pooing the baby will come out. Pregnant women should wear earplugs the whole pregnancy I tell ya!
The needle and thread test. If they put cotton onto a needle and hover it iver your bump, if it goes side to side its a boy and round and round its a girl!!
As for the oranges, I had a boy and i was mad on them!! I didn't have the same craving second time around and had another boy so dont believe all you hear.
dont go to a funeral while pregnant or your baby will die
had allot of heartburn and 3 bald babies
spicy food causes early labor
low baby boy
high baby girl
my grandmother told me not to eat the ends of a loaf of bread, because it would make my boobs too big. I heard the hair thing too. and if you crave pickles, the child will be extremely smart. I heard not to go to a funeral either. and if your carrying a girl, you will definitely be late, because they need more time to primp in order to come out!!
I was told an old west Indian tale today - apparently you are not supposed to watch horror movies while pregnant, as it will bring bad spirits upon your unborn child. Spooky!
Oh this is a silly one, you have to wear a red ribbon or string around your belly all the time in case of an eclipse, otherwise your baby will have birth defects.
I agree with Scottyboy. What a bunch of crap.
A lot of women told me that they avoided looking at people that they didn't like because their babies would end up looking just like that person. My sister avoided looking at her mother-in-law (secretly), she even avoided looking at her pictures.
I've heard that if the expecting mother is frightened by something, she should hold her hands away from any part of her body or she will mark her child with a hideous birthmark or some kind of deformity. Of course, that is just as ridiculous as the ones you've heard, but that is just another old wives tale to add to your list. My goodness those poor women put themselves under tons of pressure, didn't they?
my partners sister told me that if u have your bath water 2 hot it will set of labour that made me laugh as i have always had my bath water hot
My ex told me that childbirth was painful! What a hoot!
I never felt a thing and neither did any of my friends!
3 times.nothing!
ADDED;
Awwwwww it's a joke!
LOL...some people on here are so up themselves...
The outcome of the sex of the child depends on which side of the bed the man places his trousers. { Which bedpost, originally.}
If you start out walking with your left foot it's a boy; if you start walking with your right foot it's a girl. I used to laugh at that one & say of course it's right if it's a girl.LOL
mine is ''Lo and the angel of the lord did appear and sayeth unto Mary''
don;t put your hands or arms over your head as it will cause the umbilical cord to strangle to baby...my friend tried to convince me of that one.
If you wear socks while having sex you will have a boy
They normally say your sick more if your carrying a girl
There is Huichol tradition where the woman gets pain relief of labour by pulling on her husbands organ. See the full story here:
