The 8 weirdest pieces of pregnancy advice you never asked for
by Lani Derrick posted in Pregnancy
Ever notice that everyone has an opinion about your pregnancy" The couple sitting next to you at the OB office, the lady standing in line behind you at Chick-fil-A, not to mention coworkers and your mother, of course. So much advice that it becomes overwhelming. Some of it seems so far out there it's hard to believe that someone actually just said that to you.
I thought it would be fun to ask some of my mom friends what the craziest advice they were given while pregnant. Some shared advice that was cultural, other notions had been passed down from generation to generation in their family. Here are some of the best.
"Do not lift your arms over your head, it stretches the umbilical cord too tight." "Don't use a cell phone, it can give the baby radiation poisoning."
"Don't sleep too much or the baby will be lazy."
"Don't sweep or stand rocking side-to-side."
"Eating spicy food will result in a full head of hair for baby."
"Don't wear flip flops."
"Rub sandpaper on your nipples to get ready for breastfeeding."
"Eat all of your cravings or the baby will be born with a birthmark."
"Drinking cold water helps your belly stay round."
