Pregnancy is a very responsible period for every woman. Experiences for the child exacerbate all the feelings of the expectant mother, who becomes susceptible to everything that happens around. Various signs and superstitions, which are often associated precisely with pregnancy, are taken as a “clean coin”. At the same time, popular observations can look quite serious, but there are those that cause only a grin.

In this article we give the most popular superstitions. It’s better to just take note of them. It is no secret that all problems come to a greater extent from our heads. Although, our ancestors believed in everything that is written here and the most important thing - they strictly observed.

So, let's start with the most tested superstitions, which are really reflected in life.

Superstition number 1. The pregnant woman should not sit in the “leg by foot” position

It is believed that in this case, the baby's legs after birth will have excessive curvature. Superstition is partly explainable from a medical point of view, but the danger lies elsewhere. Pregnant women often have problems with blood flow in the veins, and a similar pose can only aggravate the situation. Of course, this cannot affect the “curvature” of the baby’s legs, but certain troubles are quite real.

Superstition number 2. Sleeping on your back during pregnancy is highly undesirable

This is explained by the fact that the baby can suffocate. Everything here is also quite explainable. When a woman sleeps on her back, the vena cava is pinched tightly. This can lead to poor circulation, hemorrhoids and back pain in a future mother in labor.

Superstition number 3. Pregnant should not be denied

Almost everyone knows about this sign. If a woman wants something, her desire to satisfy is necessary. Otherwise, it can lead to complication of childbirth. These requirements are justified, especially in the first few months of pregnancy. During this period, the baby develops and requires everything that he wants. Naturally, bad habits should not relate to wishes.

Superstition number 4. No one can talk about your pregnancy

In principle, this sign has been known for a long time, and for the first three months, women tried not to tell others (and even relatives) that they were pregnant. This avoided the evil eye of unkind people. Today, this sign is observed to a greater extent in order to avoid mockery and "winks".

Superstition number 5. The first 40 days you can not show the child (and his photo) to strangers

Today in this relationship there are different opinions. Some women from the very first days of life go out with the baby into the "light", while others sit at home for several months. It all depends on the characteristics of the child’s adaptation to the outside world. It is recommended to give the baby at least a month and a half to adapt and protect it from a lot of noise and strangers.

Superstition number 6. You can’t buy things for the baby before delivery

There are also different opinions regarding this sign. On the one hand, after giving birth, there may not be enough time to buy everything you need. It is much more convenient to skimp in advance. On the other hand, I don’t want to “play” with fate and guess something in advance, because the most difficult test (childbirth) is yet to come. But there are no reasonable justifications for this superstition.

Superstition number 7. Pregnant woman should not take a bath

Of course, a hot bath for an expectant mother is extremely undesirable, but a warm bath will not bring much harm (at least, doctors say so). Exposure to warm water helps to relax the back muscles.

Superstition number 8. Do not raise your arms above your head, otherwise the baby will become entangled in the umbilical cord

This omen is only true if a woman lingers in one position for a long time. But the danger lies not just in the umbilical cord, but in the violation of the blood circulation of the pregnant woman.

Superstition number 9. Can not knit

It was believed that (as in the previous case) the child may become entangled in the umbilical cord. But there is no particular danger. The problem for the most part concerns a long stay in a static position.

Superstition number 10. If you eat an egg with a double yolk, twins or intergrown fruits will be born

This sign can be classified as "stupid", because there is no regularity between eating eggs and features of children.

In any case, whatever the sign, it should not be allowed to get close to your heart and sincerely believe in it. Otherwise, it can really be realized.
