old wives tales?

[ChelseaCat]

Anyone been told crazy things like "don't sweep/mop" "don't reach over your head" "don't scratch your stomach" "don't rub your head when you're mad/sad" "don't cry"?

[ChelseaCat]

I knew about the tummy scratching but the mopping I heard it can strain you and your baby. Idk a lot of crazy talk if you ask me. If anyone has anymore interesting tales to tell then please feel free lol

Brain games the tv show did a whole episode on this you should look it up online or YouTube its quite interesting.

Scratching your stomach hard can cause stretch marks but not light scratching, and sweeping or moping I assume cuz u have to bend over.. Idk lol the tummy scratching is the only one I know

This is funny. I would like to know the reasoning. Like why can't you scratch your tummy? Why aren't you suppose to sweep our mop? I've never heard these things.

I was told that if you reach over your head it can cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the baby's neck...smh

My entire family tells me not to scratch my stomach lol. It's hard, but I have itch cream I put on my tummy, so its all good (:
