Oh, this pregnant brain. Just yesterday you laughed at a friend who had not been sheared all nine months, and today for a kilometer you go around the beauty salons, shy away from every cat and hide the growing pussy from prying eyes. It seems that you understand with your mind that all this is prejudice, but the subconscious mind whispers: in every superstition there is a share of truth. But in each one? Our experts - psychologists, founders of the happy motherhood center MammaMia Victor and Alexandra Audren helped us to unleash (or confirm) the basic myths. You can not eat red berries or fish. Myth / truth - 50 / 50If you believe folk wisdom, in the first case the baby will be born scrofulous, in the second - dumb. To a possible loss of speech, we immediately react with a note of humor, but to abuse any food allergens (and strawberries and red fish from their number), the future mother really is not worth it. Otherwise, the child will be born red-cheeked, because he will receive an allergy to what the mother ate. Can not play with the cat. Myth / true - 50/50 The child will have many enemies. Do you believe in this? No? And rightly so. But to the kitty once again, too, should not be approached, especially to the homeless on the street. Yes, and for his home favorite is better to clean in rubber gloves. Fluffy purrs are carriers of the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, a very dangerous disease for the baby. And the disease is transmitted through feces. In this case, a woman may not even understand that she was sick, the symptoms of toxoplasmosis are similar to the usual SARS. If you are worried, your pet is not contagious, take tests in a vet clinic. You can not get a haircut and dye your hair. Myth / true - 70/30 Can I dye my hair and? Once it was believed that hair is the life force of man. To shorten them is to reduce strength. But this prohibition has no practical meaning. But with coloring is not so simple. There is practically no real research on this subject. More harmful is a persistent paint with ammonia, but it can be replaced with natural or bezammia. And for greater peace of mind it is necessary to avoid coloring the hair in the first trimester. Also, pregnancy is not an excuse to give up make-up and other means of caring for yourself. But it is possible that the funds that you used before, now cause allergies. So it is better to go for a while to hypoallergenic cosmetics. You can not attend church with a biennial system - 100%. This prohibition does not carry any practical senses. Most likely, it comes from ancient times, when a woman in a position in principle was not let out of the house to protect from other people's eyes. On the contrary, now the mothers are recommended to visit the church and receive communion, as well as take part in other rituals. Another point is that it's worth avoiding major holidays, when there are a lot of people in the service. In the church it can be stuffy, smell strongly of incense, and still there are many sick, and therefore, potential peddlers. Pregnant women should not be lifted up. - 100%. It's really better not to raise your hands up a few weeks before the expected date of birth. This can provoke fights. All the rest of the pregnancy - no problem. They say that if you raise your hands up or stretch, then you can throw an umbilical cord on the baby. Expenditure in childbirth is really an unpleasant thing. But medicine has proved that it is impossible to achieve this by any movement. But the lack of movement is much more harmful. It is impossible to sleep on your back and sit on your leg. PRAVDA - 100% As for the back, there is partly truth in this. When a woman begins to grow belly, blood flow to the heart may be hampered, the baby will lack oxygen. So sleep better on your side, and if not very comfortable, a pillow for pregnant women will help you. But the pose of the leg is harmful, and that's the truth. And no one benefits from it, including men. This leads to an outflow of blood from the lower body, can provoke varicose veins, and also gives an incorrect load on the spine. Pregnant women can not be knit. IMF - 100%. People's "wisdom" sees a connection between knitting and crocheting with the umbilical cord. Modern medicine does not see such a connection. But he sees a connection between a sedentary lifestyle and hypoxia. So, if you sit and knit unceasingly (sew, read, draw), it can really hurt. Any passion is good in moderation. Do not talk about pregnancy. Myth / truth - 50 / 50Our ancestors believed that in childbirth a woman will have to suffer for anyone who knows about her situation, and especially about the date of the alleged delivery. Well, the evil eye on childbirth to the heap. Have laughed? And now remember yourself before giving birth. You were very much asked questions: "Have not you given birth yet?" That's the same. So others know less - you sleep more tightly. And if you really want to please the whole white world, then wait until the end of the first trimester. It is in the first three months that miscarriage may occur. Do you really need extra sympathy for strangers? Do not go to the cinemaMif / true - 50 / 50This, of course, is not superstition, but it also belongs to a number of self-prohibitions. Future moms believe that loud sound will hurt the baby. In fact, the child in the stomach carries sounds up to a hundred decibels - it's as if you were standing next to a working jackhammer. So the usual film for him is a quiet sound. Exception - cinemas with surround sound, this can lead to the tone of the uterus. In addition, for sessions it is better to walk in the morning to avoid crowds. Well, choose not the most "scary" movies. ... And yet there are such "signs", modern and ancient, which even difficult to discuss. It remains only to be surprised at the fantasies of those who invented them, and just smile when they give you such advice .- It is impossible to be photographed in the situation. The photograph leaves the future child "dead" and the fruit stops developing. "If within three days before giving birth something from household utensils or things was given to strangers, the woman will give birth to it hard and long." It is impossible to sit pregnant or stand on the threshold: this the border of the home and the land of others, the evil forces can influence the child here (we are ready to agree with this sign only if the doorway is heavily sketched) .- You can not look at the fire and various ugly things - the child can be born ugly .- If the woman on demolitions will kick a cat, then a child but it will be ingrown hair. - If you swear at the pregnant mother's floor, the child will have pigment spots. - Pregnant women should not go to the cemetery or funeral: demons may go to the baby (and we think it's just an extra experience) .- If there are fused berries or fruit, eggs with two yolks and other similar products, twins can be born. - You can not comb your hair on Fridays. So you can offend Paraskeva Friday. And she will not help during childbirth. Psychologist Alexandra Audren:
- If any superstition can bother youcomment by a specialist, then ask this question directly to him. For example, a gynecologist or a physical therapy instructor. If a woman really believes in all this, then it is better not to try to convince her too much. Let her not do what she is afraid of. Because the power of thought is a great thing, especially negatively charged. And I am categorically against communicating on this and similar topics on various forums - this is the same set of personal superstitions that are spread between women.
