Signs during pregnancy

The conception and bearing of the baby is a mysterious and largely incomprehensible matter. As in other areas of our lives, during pregnancy there are signs and superstitions that originated a few centuries ago. Believing in them or just laughing is a private matter for every woman, but in some there is a rational grain. This suggests that our ancestors were wise people, although they attributed, by ignorance, a completely different meaning to superstition.

Useful signs about pregnancy

It is scientifically confirmed that some of the signs associated with pregnancy can actually help a woman maintain her health. Here are just some of them, which, according to doctors, should be heeded:

1. You can not take a pregnant cat in your hands, iron it, and even more so, put it on your stomach - the baby will be born with excessive hair. In fact, the amount of hair this does not affect, but the mother can easily become infected with toxoplasmosis, which these animals suffer. And it does not matter whether the cat was street or domestic - if it was not vaccinated, then believe in her health - what to guess on the coffee grounds.
2. Mom, waiting for the baby, you can not sit on the doorstep - this is due to the belief that the threshold is a feature between the afterlife and our world. In reality, one should not do this because the threshold is very low and the woman has a chance to lose balance and fall, sitting down or getting up from it. In addition, on the doorstep with open doors, a draft is always walking, which does not have the best effect on the lower back.
3. You can not put your foot on the leg - the baby will be bow-legged. These folk signs of pregnancy say only that a woman who has this habit is at risk of varicose veins and swelling due to blood vessels.
4. It is forbidden to eat berries and fruits of red color, as well as fish - the baby will be born dumb or start talking late. In fact, all this is true for allergic mothers. Such products provoke unwanted reactions, and on the eve of childbirth allergic manifestations can be and the baby. To dumbness, such a sign does not have any relation.
5. You can not lie in the bathroom - you can wash away the positive energy. In fact, do not pour too hot water, which can provoke premature birth, and stay in the bath during the last month of pregnancy because of the risk of penetration into the uterus of microbes.
