Not everything the grandmothers say is true, 5 superstitions in pregnancy that you don't have to believe anymore

The pregnancy is a very special time. Everyone tends to protect their new mother, and that's why people are willing to use and believe everything, even the craziest superstitions. Many are completely false, but some seem even more true because they are based on logic.

On the list below, we show you the world's best - known superstitions after the time has come to tell you that many of them are not true.

1. Mothers should not eat fish because the baby cannot talk for a long time. Almost all fish, especially river fish, can contain parasites that are dangerous to humans. The consequences can be far more serious than the slow development of talking to a child. However, if the fish is cooked at a high temperature or frozen, then you can eat it without worrying about it. The only exceptions are the species of fish that contain a lot of ton, shark, marlin, swordfish, etc. Consumerizing such a fish when you're pregnant can be dangerous for you and your child.

2.If you walk down the ladder, your child may become weak. In fact, this superstition has spread throughout Western Europe. A ladder that rests on a wall makes a triangle that is a symbol of the Holy Trinity. It is believed that a woman crossing the triangle will break the trinity and have problems with her child. One more logical reason to stay away from the stairs is to keep a woman safe in case the stairs fall. In the Middle Ages this superstition was very common.

3.If you open all the windows in the house, the east won't be hard. And not only windows in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, people open everything they can -- doors, cabinets, shower booths, boxes, etc. It is believed that such actions will help open the cervix's neck, which certainly has no connection. However, opening all windows and doors may be necessary because it is necessary for other reasons: While the mother has just been born and the child has just arrived, relatives must clean the house and air all the rooms.

4.Don't go to the cemetery because the child won't be happy. Many Arab countries, Israel, and the Philippines follow this superstition. It is believed that a child can be called by the souls of their ancestors or that a child will have a bad mood and will cry a lot. The basis for this irrational superstition may be from certain religious restrictions or to keep a pregnant woman from stress.

5. You will not be born until you have let your hair go.Many people, even some doctors, believe this superstition and ask mothers to release their hair. They believe that this helps open the cervix's neck. Indeed, yoga makers have a different explanation - the cervix is energetically connected to mouth and lips. If the hair is tail, the face is tense and you must be completely relaxed to open the cervix.
