When you are pregnant you are subjected to
advice from anyone with their 2 cents.
What is the weirdest or craziest advice
some of you have received or just the
silliest thing that has been said to you.
This also goes to mothers who already have
children.

I was told not to eat the heel (crust) on
my bread because it would make my daughter
hairy. :roll: go figure.

I was told tons of stupid things. One
was not to look at my son upside down as
it would cause a seizure, another was not
to tickle his feet as it would make him
stutter later in life.
One of my friend's mil told her that if
her daughter diidn't poop fpr more than 1
week that it would come out of her mouth.
Lmao
Lol that's goofy!! I haven't really
gotten advice from anyone, other then how
hard it is going to be, etc. And I don't
get random strangers touching or gawking
my belly either...Haha I hear all these
stories about how old ladies and people do
that when you are out...But I have never
had it happen and I am pretty big. Haha I
feel like I am missing out on the
pregnancy experiances.

Lol everyone wanted to touch my belly and
people stopped me all the time to give
advice or ask what I was having. Once I
had him, people would stop me to look at
him and always asked if I was
breastfeeding. I'd never do that, I
think it's a personal question-lol

People told me not to eat too much or id
gain too much weight. And that is their
business how? Why does everyone all of a
sudden feel entitled to tell you how to
live your life when you are pregnant? I
hate that!

A girl that was pregnant at the same time
I was once told me that if you take a bath
...Your baby will die because it will
boil....I had to laugh...But then again it
scared me and I actually had to ask my
doctor...Lol
