Childbirth has always caused a lot of popular beliefs, signs and rumors. This is due to the fact that before the appearance of the benefits of scientific and technological progress in our society, a man wandered in the darkness of fears and superstitions. We will not concern ourselves with the Vedic principles that are too old for us, because the modern man has departed too much from nature, long before the NTP. And more like a wild and uneducated than a son of some great civilizations. Today we will shed light on some of the most common myths about pregnancy and childbirth. So, women's passions: pregnancy and childbirth.
1. Following diets, special physical exercises and correctly choosing the day of conception, you can plan the sex of the future baby. This is not true. The sex of the fetus is like an unpredictable genetic lottery. Influence on the conception of a child of a certain sex with all sorts of passes and spells is a senseless occupation.
2. Pregnancy is always a terrible toxicosis, whims, hysterics. This will inevitably lead to quarrels and may even lead to a break in relations. No no and one more time no! This is the most common myth, inspired just by masculine, not feminine, fears. Toxicosis of pregnant women is not such a terrible condition. It happens in acute form only in ten percent of pregnant women, and even then the duration of acute toxicosis is not more than two weeks in the first month of pregnancy. Just need to listen to yourself, remove the "foul-smelling" foods and objects. Surround yourself with pleasant smells. And be sure to eat or drink something sour from the morning, preferably not getting out of bed. For example, an apple or cranberry syrup. A mood in pregnant women can jump because of the increased level of progesterone. But these are just lovely whims that do not spoil, but decorate. After all, during pregnancy, a woman becomes just calmer. There is some inexplicable science effect of the extraordinary pacification of pregnant women, as if a child calms her mother.
3. Need peace, physical activity is excluded, in any case you can not play sports. Of course, sports should not be dealt with, because sport is work at the limit of physical possibilities, otherwise it is not a sport, but physical education. This is the typical mistake we make when we talk about physical education, not sports. Exercise to pregnant women is not only not contraindicated, but on the contrary - is shown. Easy jogging in the morning, non-dangerous games (badminton, beach volleyball, water polo), swimming, walking.
4. Pregnant can not look at the terrible, the child will be born ugly. You can reassure expectant mothers: the external data of the child, like his sex, do not depend on the impressions received in the womb of the mother. They are conditioned, as well as sex and features of congenital data, from a random combination of genes. But of course, positive emotions will only benefit, and negative - harm to the mental health of the mother. These are the simplest and most understandable reasons why a pregnant woman should refrain from watching horror films, but rather go to an art gallery or opera.
5. You can not cut your hair - you shorten your life and your child. According to ancient legends, it is in the hair that vital energy is concentrated. Think, dear future mothers: why then do men cut hair, whereas a man is first and foremost a warrior? For some reason, men are not afraid to shorten their lives to no avail and deprive themselves of vitality. Do not be afraid to cut off unnecessary hair during pregnancy, this will only make your hair better, which is not going through the best of times. And you always want to look beautiful, especially since immediately after giving birth, you will not have time for it. Be beautiful. A smart cascade of magnificent flowing hair below the knees - the best decoration of a woman. This no one will deny! But what if the hair is brittle and thin, and besides, it's creepy to climb? Do not harass yourself with doubts - under their scissors! And all business. And use restoring means for hair. Since the baby wants to get vitamins, and where does he get them, as soon as not from your body? This is not necessary to forget.
6. The pregnant is ugly, the stomach spoils the figure. She's unattractive. Yes, and sex it can not do. It's time for her husband to abandon her with the unborn child. This is quite a wild statement! Every man secretly dreams of having sex with a pregnant woman. This is - not only a purely male craving for experiments in sex. This is also a subconscious desire to own the future mother of his offspring. He, as it were, thus imposes his power on the family, thus recognizing paternity. Such a man will be proud of his children and his wife, who gave birth to his children. He will be an enviable father of the family, not indifferent to the successes and sorrows of children, because they are his children, his "flesh and blood." As for women's pleasures, neither sexual intercourse nor the woman's orgasm will bring harm to the fetus.
