What are some of the pregnancy myths youve heard?
Gosh I have heard so many: If you are carrying low then you are having a boy. If you gain weight around your hips it is a girl because of the overload of female hormones in your body. If you crave sweets it is a girl. If you look more beautiful when you are pregnant then it must be a boy because a baby girl would steal the mothers beauty making her less beautiful. If the fetal heart rate is over 140 bpm then it is a girl. If you hold a child and it cries then you are pregnant with the same sex of the baby you are holding as it is getting jealous. The list goes on……but my Grandmother has by far the most ridiculous myths, she has a very superstitious back ground and she wont let me watch health channels or anything where I might see abnormalities in babies as she thinks it might increase the risk of my baby having abnormalities, she wont even let me go to the zoo in case my baby turns out looking like a monkey!
