Pregnancy Tips

It’s all good to hear advice during your pregnancy, especially unwelcome guidance. I’m sure you’ve been told by one person or another how to live. Am I correct? It only gets worse the further along in your pregnancy you are. Someone may want to inform you that you shouldn’t bend, or walk a certain way, not to pick up a baby in case you injure the one in your stomach or put yourself in labor.

As the pregnancy gets closer to the due time you’ll be told many different home remedies of how to put yourself in labor. Got a headache? Someone can tell you accurately what to drink to get rid of it without any medication, remember it is important to ask a physician before trying to take something you’ve on no account tried before doing it. But the most fun I have during the course of the 9-10 months stretch is hearing all the wives tales, also known as myths.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t going to even care at this time what sex the baby is, all you want is for the morning sickness to go away. You may even be counting down the days until the first trimester is finished. Chances are if you morning sickness someone is bound to tell you what sex of the tot is. One wives tale is if you are having severe morning sickness is a signal you are having a girl.

Here’s a wives tale that is a lot of fun and you can test it on anyone in your household. Procure a thin piece of cord or your hair, slide your ring down it, hold it above your stomach and let the ring dangle aloft it. If the rings spins in a circle it is a boy, but if it goes from one side to the other, it is a girl. Once you’ve tried it out on your tummy, get someone in your house and do it above their hand. Does the ring spin in a circle aloft your hubby’s hand? Hmm, is it really and old wives tale or is there genuinely something to it?

Numerous women claim to suffer from bouts of heartburn during the pregnancy, according to the old wives tell this would suggest your baby will be born possessing a head full of hair.

Right before the end of your first trimester your physician will listen to your baby’s heart rate, this is to make sure the baby is developing alright. The wives tale goes, if the heart rate is high it is a girl and a low one is a boy.

Ever have someone inform you that you are carrying high or low and wonder what that really means? Basically if you are carrying your baby low it is closer to your belly, a high baby is closer to your chest. Look at yourself in the mirror. How is your baby sitting? The old tale says that if you are carrying high it is a female, carrying low is a boy.

Wives tales can be a lot of fun but keep in mind these aren’t fact. Don’t go preparing your child’s room just because one of these told you, you were going to have a girl.
