Q. I'm planning a baby shower for a friend. I want part of the shower to be like "fact or crap: the pregnancy edition". Can anyone give me some funny or odd pregnancy myths and/or facts. If you give me a myth can you give me the truth as well? Any websites or links would be helpful. Thanks lots in advance.
A. This is more about getting pregnant so I hope it helps. Links below
What are the best and worst pregnancy myths you ever heard?
Q. Any of them, baby gender, myths while carrying, just any.
Thank you.
Thank you.
A. Worst-You can determine your baby's gender by the position of sexual intercourse and you can predict it by how you are carrying.
The worse the morning sickness, the more likely it is you're having a girl.
If you raise your arms above your head while pregnant (as when you are hanging up clothes on a clothesline), the baby will get the cord wrapped around its neck.
If you get a lot of heartburn during pregnancy, your baby will have a lot of hair.
To keep your unborn child safe, avoid sex and exercise during pregnancy
You should not touch your cat while pregnant
If the weather is stormy or the moon is full, you are more likely to go into labor, even if you are weeks away from your due date.

Why is it considered bad luck to name a baby before it is born?
Q. I have heard many times that it is bad luck to name a baby before its' birth, and that this superstition is very common in the Jewish culture. Can anyone offer some insight into the origins of this bit of pregnancy myth?
A. I think it's just a general superstition, and isn't just in the Jewish culture. If you name a baby before it's born and it dies before or during birth it's kind of like you cursed it to die. Same with getting a crib before your first trimester is up..
Food questions? Do mints really help with nausea? And is eating deli meat really that big of a deal?
Q. There are so many pregnancy myths and wive's tales its unreal! Just wanna know whats really true from other moms. Im almost 8w pregnant with #1 and I honestly want a Jimmy Johns sandwich so bad I could cry about it. Which I probably will! And as for the mints its what everyone's telling me because I have pretty bad nausea in the evenings.
A. mints help, sour things help, not letting your stomach get empty by eating small meals and snacks helps. and I ate deli meat with all my pregnancies, as long as you aren't eating it every day constantly, you should be fine. It is dangerous because there can be bacteria. If the meat is heated by toasting it, or microwaving, it is completely fine. and jimmy johns is awesome :)
