Superstitious beliefs about pregnancy

Once a woman becomes pregnant, the whole family will protect her as if she were a "national treasure". You can't do this, and you have to be careful about that. In short, all kinds of taboos arise. Especially the older generation, they seem to care more about some "feudal and superstitious" terms. Although young people today don't care about these at all, you have to pay attention to the following 5 terms.

1. Don’t say when you are preparing to get pregnant for three months:

The older generation often says that you must not tell anyone when you are planning to get pregnant for three months, as this is not good for the baby or the pregnant mother. In fact, this kind of name is not "feudal superstition", but because the implantation of test tube embryos in the early pregnancy is not stable. In other words, the first three months is a relatively risky stage. Clinical medicine has found that about 80% of accidents occur in the first three months.

If the pregnant mother shares the good news with everyone when she is pregnant, but the baby has an accident before three months, then relatives and friends will be concerned and concerned, which will cause serious mental stress to the pregnant mother. Therefore, it is not too late to tell everyone after the three-month dangerous period of pregnancy.

2. Pregnant women cannot drink at weddings or funerals:

The old people said that it is very easy for pregnant women to conflict with each other if they drink at weddings or funerals, but this has been misunderstood by everyone. It's not the supernatural thing that everyone imagines. It's just that there are many people attending weddings or funerals, and there are many emergencies, which is very unsafe for pregnant women. In addition, pregnant mothers are very likely to have high blood pressure due to emotional excitement, joy or sadness, which will affect the well-being of the baby in the belly.

3. Pregnant women should not go to hot springs:

Doctors recommend that pregnant women take showers instead of baths, which is actually the same reason why they are not allowed to take hot spring baths. Because pregnant women soak in hot spring water for a long time, it may cause private part infection, inflammation, etc. In severe cases, it may even cause premature birth. In addition, the temperature of hot spring water is relatively high. If pregnant women soak in it for too long, their body temperature will rise, which will also be bad for the fetus.

4. It is not suitable to move to a new home during pregnancy:

The elderly often say that you cannot move during pregnancy, because the fetal god has a different position every day and every month. If it moves, it will be bad for the fetus and can easily cause premature birth or defects.

This kind of term sounds scary. In fact, the term "fetal god" has long disappeared. The current scientific term should be that people are worried that pregnant women will be too tired during the move to a new home, and that they will need a certain amount of time to adapt to the new place, which will affect their rest and mood. Overwork may also cause miscarriage, premature birth, etc.

In addition, if it is a newly renovated house, it is even more inappropriate to move in, because the newly renovated house is likely to have indoor formaldehyde and other harmful substances that are not good for pregnant mothers and fetuses.

5. Pregnant women cannot use scissors or sew:

The elderly believe that holding scissors will cause the baby to have "cleft lip". In fact, this kind of saying is mostly to allow pregnant women to avoid the harm of tools, have more time to rest, do less needlework, etc., to avoid overwork that affects the health of mother and daughter.
