Eclipse Tonight

[DSYBAHENA]

So there will be an eclipse tonight around 8. I dont know if I am the only one but when there is an eclipse I have heard that pregnant women need to protect themselves(baby) by wearing red. Any truth to that? Or just myth? What happens when eclipse occurs and you're pregnant?

LOL..how can you resist.  But don't ly flat on your back, it can compress your major blood vessels and be dangerous to you and your baby.

[DSYBAHENA]

Yeah that's what my mom and hubby were telling. I couldn't even go outside, see the eclipse or nothing.

lol my friend calld me just to tell me to wear a red shirt to protect your baby and red underwear.....they say an eclipse can make your baby deformed or kill it. its an old mexican tale but still i didnt want to take any chances. my friends mom told me its true becuase she had an exclipse when she was pregnant with her son and his feet came out deformed (im guessing his toes are webbed) but right wen i hung the fone up i put on a red shirt and underwear lol

Not sure....but DH and I watched the whole thing and it's SOOO cool.....One of God's awesome ideas/creations to entertain us!  LOL

[DSYBAHENA]

Well I put on my red not entirely all of me was red but I put a lil something just in case.

I have heard that too, Both my boys were born during snow storms, it sucked trying to get to the hospital. Im due in Oct and moving to MI and MI has really horrible but exciting storms, so maybe I wont have to stress about going over my due date lol.

I went into labor on a stormy night!!! Storms bring babies is a cliche they say on Labor and Delivery Wards. So do full moons!!!

lol, girl I wish i only had 4 more days lol. Im just starting out at 6w2d, and have a long road ahead of me. Im looking forward to it, dont get me wrong, but the sickness, headaches, cramping, sore bb's, and so on are driving me insane already lol.

Good luck on having that lil bean!

[Kim1989]

BTS1022- WHAT!! I HOPE THATS THE CASE 4 MORE DAYS! PLEASE LET THIS BABY COME

NOT TO MENTION we are in the full moon phase! its really tomorrow tho but still

[BTS1022]

I heard with eclipse' women who are close to being done cooking their lil beans go into labor. So maybe we will have some baby news in a few days!

Not from me fyi lol, just saying.

(goes to get red socks) hehehe

The night of an eclipse you have to lay down for two hours but it can't be on your side? Interesting...
My husband is VERY Superstitious...if a black cat even comes near him, he walks backwards for days! LOL

So did you have to wear red all day or just when the eclipse happens? I might have to throw something red on now! Just a red shirt or are you decked out in red??

[JoyRenee]

I want to go outside and see the eclipse but it's like FREEZING outside!!! BRRRRR!

[DSYBAHENA]

My hubby made me. I have been reading on the subject and there have been stories of people not believing in it and their baby is born with defects. I don't know if to believe or not I am not in superstious but this one has me thinking. Also I have read that you have to lay down not to the side for two hours. That sucks.

[Gina209]

Regardless it's still Superstition.....so are you going to wear Red tonight?

[alaysha]

Absolutely nothing. Its just one of those weird old wives tales.
