What can not be done during pregnancy?

Since ancient times, all sorts of superstitions and omens have come into our lives, many of which are difficult to give in to any reasonable explanation. "It will not be worse," we say, and we continue to observe them.

So somehow calmer, is not it? And calmness is especially necessary for a pregnant woman. In an interesting situation, the woman becomes more hypochondriac and, trying, as best as possible to protect herself and the future baby, is ready to follow all "not", which offers folk signs and superstitions. And there are a lot of them. So it can and should not be done during pregnancy, based on ancient superstitions and people's perceptions.

The future mother can not weave, sew, knit , the baby can be born with moles. For needlework, a woman can get injured: she can prick a needle or cut herself with scissors, which makes her afraid, which negatively affects the baby.

The future mother can not sit on the doorstep. It was believed that the threshold is the line between home and foreign land. In addition, sitting on a draft for a future mother does not promise anything good. This sign is supplemented by a ban on stepping over a log or a broom. You can get into the disfavor of the brownie who lives there. And if you think, then stepping over the obstacle, you can in fact stumble and fall, which is extremely dangerous for the life of the baby.

The future mother can not eat red berries - the child will be born red, you can not eat fish - will be born dumb. Here everything is simple, berries and seafood are strong allergens, the use of which in unlimited amounts can cause diathesis in the child. Hence the blush.

The future mother should not raise her hands so that the umbilical cord does not wrap the baby in the womb. Gynecologists dispelled this myth. Although it's worth noting that from the middle of pregnancy it is still not recommended to hang out clothes and reach up, as the amniotic fluid can break and premature birth will begin.

The future mum can not cut hair. According to popular belief, this is fraught with premature birth, miscarriage or the birth of a dead child, since in olden times it was believed that the whole life force in the hair. Hair has never been sheared, only during terrible epidemics (plague, cholera).

A future mother can not sit on her leg. The kid will be bow-legged, club-footed. Gynecologists also do not recommend a similar pose. However, this has nothing to do with clubfoot. In this position, the blood supply deteriorates, which can provoke varicose veins.

The future mother can not be looked at ugly, terrible and ugly. The child will be born ugly. And this sign is not devoid of common sense, as it has long been proven that a child, being in the womb of the mother, is able to feel all of her emotions. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that prospective mothers often enjoy themselves with good music (classical music is most appropriate), aesthetic pictures and landscapes, and experience positive emotions. All this will have a good effect on the character of the future baby.

The future mother can not talk about a pregnancy "ahead of time" can be jinxed. Statistics data say that in the early stages of the risk of miscarriage is higher than in later terms. And this phenomenon in ancient times was explained by the interference of dark forces. And so, to speak out loud about it, they were afraid until the belly of the future mother could be seen.

The future mother can not eat secretly. It was believed that the child would be shy. It is not uncommon in the period of pregnancy, the taste preferences of a woman change both in terms of the composition of the diet, and in terms of increasing the volume. The woman is embarrassed by this and "hides" with a tidbit. This should be avoided, because with nutrition "hastily" nutrients are digested much worse.

A future mother can not be photographed. It is believed that the fruit will cease to develop.

A future mother can not buy things for a newborn. The child will be born dead. This sign is associated with the high mortality of newborns in the old days. Now this superstition is losing its relevance, and mummies with great pleasure choose clothes for their future crumbs. Agree, the young mother is unlikely to bring joy immediately after leaving the hospital to break out of the shop in search of things for her crumbs.

A future mother can not speak the name of a future child. It was believed that impure forces can cause harm to the child.

The future mother can not touch cats. The child will have many enemies. Cats are carriers of toxoplasmosis, and when in contact with an animal, a pregnant woman can catch herself, and through the placenta infect her baby. Toxoplasmosis is a disease that affects the nervous system. In order not to expose yourself and your baby such a danger, it is better to avoid contacts with cats. If a future mother has a fluffy friend, it will not be superfluous to check the pet from the veterinarian for the presence of an agent.

The future mother can not quarrel and swear. The child will be evil. It is well known that a pregnant woman should avoid stressful situations. Irritation and fright contributes to high blood pressure, which negatively affects the health of your baby.

The future mother can not step over the fruits growing in the earth to miscarriage.

The future mother can not climb through the window, and also step over the log: difficult births are possible.

The future mother can not pump an empty cradle. Means that the child does not have a place in it.

And this is not yet the final list of "people's prohibitions". There are absolutely absurd signs. For example: the entire pregnancy can not touch his face - the face of the child will have birthmarks. In this case, the faces of all of us should be covered with birthmarks.

So how does it relate to folk signs and superstitions, to believe in what can and can not be done during pregnancy? Everyone decides independently. After all, signs carry national wisdom, and there is certainly a rational grain in them. But, it seems to me that for a pregnant woman it's more appropriate not to follow senselessly any kind of superstitions, but to comply with all the instructions and recommendations of your doctor.
