In the old days when medicine and technology had not developed much, people tried to make sense of the events they could not explain with some hollow superstitions. One of them is pregnancy and some situations during pregnancy. So much so that they hold on to these beliefs in many aspects, from the gender of the baby to what it will look like. Although these beliefs may sound ridiculous at the moment, some of them can still make people say “Could it be?”.
1. “If you mostly want to eat sweet things , you will have a baby boy. If you mostly want to eat sour things, you will have a baby girl.”
2. “It is possible to estimate the sex of the baby according to the shape of the belly of the pregnant woman.”
If the woman has a pointed belly, it means that she will give birth to a baby boy. The flat stomach of the woman shows that she would give birth to a baby girl. Well, if you tell both the girl and the boy what is the status of those who are pregnant as twin? This technique is unfortunately clogged there.
3. “According to the sex of the baby, the pregnant woman becomes beautiful or ugly.”
You ask why… Because “the boy adorns the mother and the girl adorns herself”.
4. Scissors and knife technique as a method of sex prediction
Accordingly, scissors are hidden under one of the two seats and the blade is hidden under the other. If the pregnant woman comes and sits on a chair with a knife underneath, the baby is a boy and the other seat means girl.
5. “Hair is not cut when pregnant, otherwise the life of the baby is short.”
The pregnant woman wasn’t allowed to have her hair cut. Because if the pregnant woman cut her hair, the baby’s life would be shortened. The interesting thing is that even today, it is possible to see those who act according to this belief.
6. If the pregnant woman carries an egg with her, the baby will have dimples, and if she carries an apple, she has red cheeks.
It is not known whether the eggs will be cooked or raw. But the apple needs to be red. 💁
7. “If the pregnant woman drinks water with her husband’s shoes, birth is easy.”
We don’t know if anybody really did this!..
8. “If a pregnant woman picks and eats fruit without permission from someone’s garden, the baby will have a birthmark in the shape of the same fruit.”
Wherever the woman puts her hand on her body, the baby is believed to have birthmark at the same point.
9. “If the pregnant woman looks at the camel, the baby is very tall, and if she looks at the bear, she becomes hairy like a bear.”
Fortunately, these are animals that do not come across in daily life! Phew!
10. If the pregnant woman touches the hand of the hedgehog, the baby’s face is similar to the hedgehog.
Why does a person normally need to touch a hedgehog? 👎
11. “If the pregnant woman touches the plum to her eyes, the eyes of the baby will turn green.”
We think that different fruits can be tried if another color is desired. 💙💚💛💜😀
12. “Whoever the pregnant woman looks at the baby’s first wiggle, the baby looks like her/him.”
Father, aunt, uncle whatever… Beware the accidental looks… 😐
13. “If the pregnant woman looks at the moonlight, the baby will be as beautiful as the moon.”
Does it really matter who or what the baby looks like, whether it’s a boy or a girl? Just keep your precious baby healthy, nothing else matters.
