my auntie told me never to eat fish while i was pregnant as the baby could choke on a boneWhat is the funniest piece of advice you were given while pregnant?
Actually my mother was told by her doctor to have a glass of red wine every night when she was pregnant with me... so glad I turned out ok..my father tried to push that advice on me. I didn't drink when I was not pregnant what made him think that I would when I was.


My mother-in-law tells my sister in laws that they need to always stay warm and drink warm things to make sure that their milk comes in and that they continue to have a good supply.
A lady I work with is always telling me crazy stuff. She's a total hypochondriac. She says something silly everyday! It's starting to get annoying..





One day I had to take this 4 foot cardboard tube home and she said that I needed to put it in the back of a truck instead of my SUV because the fumes (I know..What the heck?) were bad for my baby.





Apparently the smell of cardboard is toxic..
someone told me when i was working, that not to vacuum it could cause the baby to strangle itself. i was so scared to use the vacuum until i talked to my doctor and mom. lol.





then i got told not to reach above my head it could also cause the baby to strangle itself with the cord. lol.
to satisfy my craving or else the baby would look like that.


like one time i was craving a tamale and they said ';op! u better go get one now cuz we dont want him to look like a tamale!';





and eveeerrrytttime i said i wanted something they made sure i ate it cuz they didnt want him to look like it...lol
My mother-in-law told me that, the sicker you were with morning sickness, the healthier my baby would be. I never had morning sickness and at 35W, 4D, my doctor seems to think that the baby is great. All I know is, she really freaked me out!!
My coworker tried to convince me to have a ';free birth.'; She said she saw a program on the tv at home and thought it was a great idea. After I told her that I had more of a chance to die and leave her alone, she changed her mind.
Don't strain while going to the bathroom because the baby could fall out, especially in the beginning of pregnancy. Crazy huh?





And don't stretch your arms above your head or the umbilical cord could choke the baby.
Not to reach my arms up over my head because the baby's cord would get wrapped around it's neck.. LOL Good thing I didn't believe it :-)
I am pregnant and breastfeeding and my mother and aunties told me that if i dont stop my 13 months would die or go blind ... nt true obviously!!





lol
My mother in law told us that we had to get rid of our cats before our baby was born because they could climb into the baby's crib and take his breath away.
My mother's third husband told me not to lay on my stomach because it would suffocate the baby
I was told not to eat strawberries or the baby will have a bad birthmark
Don't pick up my son while pregnant.


Yah right hes still a baby himself lol

Give my baby rum to get them to go to sleep!
I was told that I HAVE to have a completely natural child birth if I want my baby and I to be healthy.
