Stupid pregnancy myths, share your own. - Comments

That if it's "up high" it's a boy. I got my hope up for that one :( haha, your bump i mean.

It's even more ridiculous that this is all over her not taking superstitious precautions to prevent a damn cleft lip. It's not like it will kill your baby and there are surgeries for that and tons of charities, y'know? i would rather my child have a cleft lip than be dead from ignorant people causing so much stress. Oh my god, please make sure she doesn't marry him when the baby comes out healthy. I hope she's doing everything she can to lose touch with all of those bastards. It's so horrible that she has to deal with all of this bullshit, especially in her greatest time of need. She's lucky to have you to help her with what you can, even if it's just talking.

@ BeginningOfTheEnd
I was this angry yesterday when I spoke on the phone with her. She was left alone in her house because the dude was angry at her because it was all her fault. He left her completely alone when the doctor told them that she's in danger of having a miscarriage and a miscarriage often also posses danger to the mother and he just left her alone. I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do with that man, but he's going to regret ever doing that.

In all seriousness though, I didn't put a fucking safety pin or whatever the fuck anywhere at anytime on my clothes while pregnant, and my baby is like... a super baby or some shit.

Like, I really hate shitfucks and I really hate when people are treated so terribly when they're pregnant. I hope she doesn't marry that tinydick-face and finds someone sane with a caring family so she can get the fuck away from those dipshits and fucking keeps the child away from all of her family, including the biological father. Because seriously. Ugh. All of that stress is dangerous as you noted and GAHHH. I need to stop while I'm ahead or I'll go like... psycho bitch on these fuckers that don't even know we're talking about them on here HAHAH.
I mean seriously, what's next, when the baby is there they'll tell her to put it in the fucking oven to keep it's temperature from dropping UGHHH. Stupid cunts.
I apologize for my anger. :x

Sounds like she has a family of witches in disguise trying to get her to do some freaky voodoo.

How ridiculous. I hope and pray she gives birth to a perfectly healthy and happy baby and then can give double barrel middle fingers to everyone. If anything, if there are problems, it will be THEIR fault for all of the stress they're putting on this poor lady! My thoughts are with her. ❤️

@ psychotic secrets;
I've heard about how to have a girl or a boy and apparently if the one who performed the best sex is the man, then you get a girl, but if the one who was the best at sex is the woman, you get a boy. Idek how people come up with this

@ gatsby;
nickname him watermelon

@ sobre mi cadaver
She was like 17 or so and I just had to stop hanging out with her because of that. How am I supposed to take her seriously and look her and her son in the face? like lmao

I wanna do that and I'm not even the girl that's pregnant.

This is more of "how to have a son" type of myth:

Apparently right after sex you are supposed to stand on your hands and stay like that for a few minutes. It is because male sperm is slower so if you go upside down, like gravity will make them go faster.

I shit you not, that is what my parents did. Nine months later, my brother came. So I don't even know It worked for them, they got the son they wanted.

@ Filth in the Beauty
She event took her mom and her fiance to the doctor with her and told the doctor what they've been telling her and the doctor provided scientific data and the mom was like "you're not a woman, how would you know what pregnancy is?". This to one of the most important obstetricians in the area. I'm pretty sure she'll say something to this effect or bring out god or something.

@ HerNameIsAlice
That's what I told her and her fiance, but he's like not listening to anything you have to say and sticking with stupid myths. I just... I'm done.

@ independence.
I don't know how she puts up with it; I would have falcon punched her mom straight on the vulva.

@ LettersToNormandy
It's just so fucking ridiculous

My aunt's friend once said if you eat a lot of turnips, you'll have twins.

I'm pretty sure with what they're all saying, that will cause stress and then that will make her lose her baby. Friggin' assholes.

If I was her friend I would just ask all these nice people what they thought pregnant women did before safety pins were invented.

Because obviously there was a time when this sort of stuff didn't exist. And obviously people had babies then. And there are women in African tribes who don't even wear clothes, so no safety pins underneath.

Just scientific curiosity .

What.

Just...huh?

That girl's family is crazy. Actually, I don't think crazy quite covers it. I swear, if someone does that to me when I get pregnant later on in life, heads will roll.

Wait. Is this real life or

Holy shit all that over a safety pin I just... holy wow.

I fully support lighting the poor girl's family/fiancée on fire at this point that is AWFUL

@ gatsby;
OMG WHAT? HOW OLD WAS SHE?!

I had one acquaintance who legitimately believed that if she ate a lot of watermelon, she would have a baby girl a la Sims 3. Like wtf?!?! That's a video game, girl!

It would've been hilarious if she was kidding, but she wasn't, and during delivery, she asked the doctor if it would work.
