You pregnant ladies know how everybody seems to think they know more than your OB/GYN and offer some crazy advice. What is some of the craziest stuff you've heard so far? This includes comments from total strangers about your weight, how you carry, the size of your bump, etc.What is the craziest advice on pregnancy you've heard so far?
When I was pregnant, everyone told me that if I want a girl, eat sweet stuff and if I want a boy, eat spicy stuff!What is the craziest advice on pregnancy you've heard so far?
oh ya...from dont eat veggies and fruit to dont put your hands over your head...Ive heard them all.
The one that made me laugh was dont put your hands over your head...because the cord will strangle the baby. Ya, right!
If you cant imagine a perfectly good reason to NOT do something, I say do it.
If you eat too much spicy foods then the baby will come out with a head full of hair.
If you raise your arms over your head then you will strangle the baby.
If you hold a necklace over your belly with a ring on it and it spins then it is a girl and if it sways back and forth then it is a boy.
Well people seem to think that I eat ';EVERYTHING'; in sight! Just because I am pregnant doesn't mean I want to eat everything!!! Ahhh!! Lol.
I'm SO tired of the wives tales saying it's going to be this or that.
It's a RING ON A STRING! Not the hand of God!
Ughhhhhh!
When I was 38 weeks pregnant with my first child someone asked me when i was due and I said in 2 weeks. This person seriously told me that jumping up and down would make me go into labor faster.
I heard so many crazy things while I was pregnant with my twins. However, this one takes the cake. I actually had a woman asking me questions about why I was so big (duh twins) once she found out it was twins she asked me how many days apart did I have sex because she believed that twins came from having sex twice :) thank god because I would of probably had 60 if that was true lol. It was so funny,
With my first I was only 18 and my baby had hiccups a lot. My mom said it was because I was crying a lot and when you cry the baby gets hiccups.
if ur belly button pokes up, its a boy
if ur belly button faces downwards, its a girl
Yeah Ryt!!
Ooooh i got another one!
If u put weight on...yeah u herd me....
if u put weight on during ur pregnancy, its defo a girl......HAHA
If you have seen something tramatic the baby will have a birth mark of that inccident. I was told this by my MIL after I passed a bad car accident that involved a horse. My MIl thinks the baby will have a brith mark in the shape of a horse.
Also that having hearburn all the time means the baby will have a full head of hair.
I've heard some doozies.
Don't stand in front of a microwave because you'll boil the baby.
Don't raise your arms over your head because you'll put a knot in the cord.
Don't bend to pick anything up because you'll make the baby cross-eyed.
You're having a boy if your nose gets bigger.
You're having a girl if you crave ice cream. (I crave ice cream when I'm NOT pregnant.)
Don't go to a funeral while you're pregnant - the baby will be born with a large black mole.
If you're carrying low, it's a girl. (I'm proof this one isn't true.)
If the heartbeat is really fast, it's a girl. (Also proof this one's wrong.)
I'm sure I've heard other dumb stuff, but now in pregnancy #2, I tune people out. =)
hahaha the crasest thing that they told me to do i was about 8 months and people would tell me to rub my nipples supposably that would make the baby come out fast becasue the baby feels the sinsation and gets mad beacuse the nipple is only for him/her lol.......
It really annoys me that people tell me worrying is bad for the baby! (Yes, I worry a bit because I've had a miscarriage in the past.) One of my friends informed me that the reason my baby's heartbeat has slowed down is because I'm not so worried any more...actually, the heartbeat normally slows down in the second trimester!
I've also been told not to go to a funeral-but because I would have a miscarriage/still birth.
My maternal grandmother told my mom this while she was pregnant though. I think this beats them all! haha
';don't go swimming because you'll drown the baby';!!
-umm.. duh there's the mucus plug... which holds the amniotic FLUID the baby is in.
i ve heard from a surgeon in the commor islands that a woman arrived at the hospital to be treated and he did a surgery on her abdomen . The sugery block crew was surprised to find that the woman was pregnant for at least 40 years , the baby was momified . a very hard corpse .
The craziest thing women were telling me was to go for that epidural when I gave birth. I am glad I decided not to and didn't.
Oh my god, your pregnant again.... That's the one that hurt the most. it's only my second. When I asked about the comment they said ';since you were so sick, I figured you would never have another one.';
I have been told that this one is a boy since I am carrying so differently.
Older women yell at me for wearing my jeans, or reaching above my head for something. I have also gotten comments like ';at least you aren;t getting as ';fat'; as you did with your daughter, it should be easier to lose this time.';
Well my mom told me if I lift my arms over my head the baby will fall out.LMAO
My husband got some book for expecting fathers from our library. He took it out of town with him on a business trip. When he called home he had all kinds of stupid things he had read in there. He told me not to do much bending and stretching cause it could cause the cord to wrap around the baby. I can't remember what else.... but I was like.... were are you getting this stuff from..... and he said he was reading it from that book from the library. When he got home I took a look at the book and it was written in like 1955. They should really update those things.
I am also 10 days overdue today..... and everyone keeps telling me I need to drive over railroad tracks.... and that it works..... HA HA HA HA HA..... if only it were that easy.... don't u think I'd do it????
Everyone told me it was a boy (from my face, how i carried, etc.) or that it was twins, i ended up with one beautiful girl.
I got told to not wear black underwear as it would turn my milk sour (thats a funny one!!!)
No to sit in a breeze, it would be bad for the baby.
Those are the craziest ones i can think of.
';Don't lay on your stomach because you'll squish the baby';
';Don't have sex because it will hurt the baby';
';Don't scratch because you'll get stretch marks';(This one really annoys me. Stretch marks are hereditary. If you're going to get them you're going to get them!)
When I was about 20 weeks pregnant, a woman at work told me I wasn't going to make it to my due date and that I look like I may have the baby the next week. I guess that was her way of telling me I look huge!
that worrying is bad for the baby... i'm sorry, but i think EVERY pregnant woman worries!
';Don't raise your hands above your head or you'll wrap the cord around the baby's neck';
';Don't strain when you potty or the baby will pop out';
';Don't strain when you potty or you'll tear the placenta';
The craziest thing I've heard is that if you have a lot of heart burn, your baby will have a lot of hair. I had terrible heartburn almost constantly with my last baby and she came out completely bald.
The funniest thing I ever heard came from our first son's father, right after I delivered him. He squeezed my hand and said ';Don't worry, the hard part is over.'; Little did we know as new parents, labor is the EASY part...
don't lift anything
don't put your arms over your head
don't exercise
don't eat any seafood
don't drive
don't eat dairy foods
drink at least a 1/2 gallon of milk a day or baby will have brittle bones
don't eat soy, nuts, wheat, shellfish, etc or baby will be allergic
don't use wine for cooking with, because it will cause FAS
don't get a foot massage or it will start labor
don't scratch or you'll get stretch marks
put olive oil/ vit e oil/ expensive products on your tummy to prevent stretch marks
get rid of your cats or you will miscarry, and if you're lucky %26amp; you don't, then they will steal the baby's breathe %26amp; kill it
