Myth Or Not
Posted: 02-04-04 18:01pm

I have heard that if you are preg and you left your hands above your head then the cord wraps around the babies neck.Could this be true?

If you leave your hands above your head when? Maybe I am not understanding the questions correctly?

Good Question
Posted: 02-04-04 18:51pm

Hi I am 5'11 and because I am so tall my aunt told me when I get further along to make sure I don't pull stuff down or put stuff up high also. Let me know if you ever find out. I go to the Dr. Tomm and I will ask my obgyn what she thinks.

Hey how are you. I have heard that lifting heavy stuff at all while your pregnant can cause some kind of harm to your baby. When I was pregnant with my daughter, the doctor told me all the time not to lift heavy stuff, to have someone else lift it if it had to be moved. I hope this helps.

I Just Found Out That...

Hey girls, I had to go to the dr today and she said it is not true, old wise tell. I was relieved because I am the tell one!!! Plus the fact that I am tall and was so worried that wow, I cant be doing that. She said the reason the baby gets wrapped around is because they play in there. You could crawl up in a fetal position and the baby could still get wrapped around. Do not worry about it though, it causes to much stress and worry, don't want to have a a paranoid baby, lol.
Now, about the lifting heavy stuff. No, you should not lift heavy stuff during pregnancy. You do not want to strain yourself!!!
