Pregnancy is the 9 most important months in the life of a woman who is preparing to become a mother, it is during this period that even more responsibility falls on the future woman in childbirth, because now she must protect the baby she carries with all her might. Even the most not superstitious woman, becoming more vulnerable and sensitive during pregnancy, listens to ancient signs and popular beliefs, which for centuries passed from mothers to daughters.
Signs of Pregnancy
- You need to keep silent about your position for as long as possible. It was believed that evil spirits and demons can take a child if a woman informs her relatives and neighbors about her pregnancy early. Therefore, the fact that the baby will soon be born could only be told to her husband, and from the rest everything was kept secret.
- A woman in a position is forbidden to cut her hair. From time immemorial people believed that all the power of a person is stored in the hair, and if you cut your hair, you will become unprotected and weak. Well, if a pregnant woman does this, it can lead to a miscarriage.
- A pregnant woman is not allowed to sleep on her back. Our ancestors were sure that in this case the child can suffocate. But today this is no longer the usual superstition, doctors advise women in the position not to sleep on their backs, because this can lead to a violation of blood flow as a result of squeezing the inferior vena cava.
- During pregnancy signs were forbidden to look at terrible or ugly things. It was believed that negative emotions from what they saw could affect the appearance of the child.
- The future mother is forbidden to knit, sew, and darn. There is a belief that in this case the baby can be entangled by the umbilical cord.
- If the pregnant woman is constantly sitting cross-legged, the baby will be born legged or club-footed.
- People's beliefs forbid women in the position to iron cats. This is explained by the fact that the child will have many enemies or even worse, he will be born seriously ill. In our time, doctors also recommend less contact with domestic pets, because, as is known, a cat can cause allergies or be a carrier of very dangerous diseases, for example, toxoplasmosis.
- Before giving birth, you can not talk about what name it was decided to call the child. So evil spirits can not kidnap a baby.
- If the pregnant woman is constantly touching the face, the baby will have many birthmarks.
