Superstitions Involving Mothers-To-Be
Every culture will have its own set of superstitious beliefs. It is surprising to see that people still believe in all these things.
Some people go only by these beliefs and superstitions. Like the two sides of the coin, there is no doubt that there are lot of pros and cons of superstitions during pregnancy.
Our forefathers do say these things for a reason and generally, there is some logic behind this. But, on the other hand, science has advanced so much that it simply busts all these myths.
Every person you meet will say something about your baby belly. You will have to take it in the right spirit. Here are some of the superstitions that you are sure to hear during pregnancy.
Gender
of
the
baby
When
you
consider
the
myths
on
pregnancy,
the
very
first
thing
that
people
will
want
to
know
is
the
gender
of
the
baby.
If
the
belly
is
pointed,
it
will
be
a
boy.
If
it
falls
to
the
side,
it
will
be
a
girl.
If
your
face
looks
rounder,
it
is
a
girl,
and
weight
on
the
rear
can
mean
it
is
a
boy.
Some
of
these
turn
out
to
be
true,
but
nothing
to
assure
you
than
an
ultrasound.
Position
of
the
umbilical
cord
One
of
the
superstitions
during
pregnancy
is
that
the
movements
you
make
will
affect
the
position
of
the
umbilical
cord.
Like
when
you
lift
your
hands
above
your
head,
it
is
a
myth
that
the
baby
can
be
strangled
by
the
umbilical
cord.
Actually,
the
movement
of
the
body
has
no
effect
on
the
position
of
the
baby
or
the
umbilical
cord.
Cleft
lip
One
of
the
strange
superstitions
during
pregnancy
is
that
when
a
pregnant
women
watches
a
lunar
eclipse,
the
baby
will
have
a
cleft
lip.
This
is
one
of
the
common
myths.
For
protection,
the
mother
is
asked
to
carry
something
metallic.
Cleft
lips
are
formed
by
genetic
and
environmental
factors.
Hairy
One
of
the
superstitions
during
pregnancy
is
that
they
believe
if
the
mother
has
a
heartburn,
the
baby
will
be
quite
hairy.
Also,
if
the
woman
has
a
lot
of
red
meat
during
pregnancy,
the
child
will
be
hairy.
When
in
reality,
the
amount
of
hair
depends
on
the
genes
that
the
baby
inherits.
Heartburn
is
usually
a
reaction
to
the
hormones.
Cradle
Cap
A
common
myth
surrounds
a
pregnant
woman
who
consume
dairy
products
in
large
quantities.
The
myth
is
that
the
baby
will
be
born
with
a
cradle
cap.
The
cradle
cap
is
a
scaly
crust
patches
that
appear
on
baby's
head.
This
is
generally
due
to
the
excess
of
oil
on
the
scalp
of
the
baby.
It
is
also
important
to
know
that
this
is
quite
harmless
for
the
baby.
