What can not be pregnant: belief or not?

When a woman learns that she is expecting a child, she seems to start living anew. From that moment everything in life is altered, simple things become complicated, the view of the world and oneself in this world changes radically. At once there is a question - what it is impossible to eat during pregnancy? Fortunately, there is the Internet and you do not need to study a lot of books, as in the old days, in search of valuable recommendations for the menu for future mothers. And there is a woman in a delicate position you can only eat healthy, and even then not all. The fact that it is impossible for pregnant women to fat and sweet in large quantities, as well as salted and smoked, knows, perhaps, everyone. But that is not desirable to eat even some fruits and vegetables, the course is not all. In particular, dark varieties of fruit are not recommended , citrus fruits - because they can cause baby allergies, watermelon and grapes - because of excessive fluid content, in order to avoid dropsy.

About the diet of pregnant women in general you can write a whole book. The fact is that in the first months many women face toxicosis. As a result of the speech, it's not that the diet does not go in; they can be prescribed medication in droplets. But it is only necessary to pass a toxicosis, as future moms begin to catch up. They eat everything in a row, day and night, torturing their husbands with constant whims. But one day they suddenly find out that it's time to go on a diet. Next begins the struggle of the mind with the stomach.

What can not be pregnant? They can not do much, but most importantly, do not do things that would not have benefited a non-pregnant woman. For example, smoking and drinking alcohol, eat without measure and break the diet. And even more so, in no case can you use narcotic and psychotropic substances, dangerous medicines, undergo X-rays and irradiation. Of course, you still need to abandon the extreme, do not jump with a parachute or engage in active sports.

And that's why you can not get a haircut during pregnancy? It's not a ban on medicine, it's a custom, or even a prejudice of the past, as some people think. But, nevertheless, many adhere to it and stubbornly do not cut and do not dye hair during pregnancy. And it all went with the belief that cutting off the hair, the woman shortens the life of her unborn baby. Someone will say that this is utter nonsense, and it will probably be right. But pregnant women - this is a special category of people who are alien to the opinions of others and close to all sorts of superstitions. They will prefer not to take risks, even knowing that this is just a belief. But is not it enough?

Still it is considered, that it is impossible for pregnant women to knit, sew, cut. Allegedly the child can get confused in the umbilical cord, as if in a thread that is held by his mother. And, indeed, children often have an umbilical cord. But still no one has established that this is due to the threads that mate knits. But you want to bind something beautiful to your baby in a decree!

The fact that it is impossible for pregnant women to prepare a pre-dowry is also very inconvenient. This is also a bad sign, ostensibly. But if in reality you do not prepare for an extract from the hospital, then there will be a lot of problems, if, of course, one of the family members does not go all day for children's shopping. Dowry for a newborn is usually prepared, not in one month. To do this, you need to make lists of everything you need and go around a lot of children's supermarkets in search of all sorts of trivia. And how to imagine an extract from the hospital when there is not even a baby crib at home? Of course, at the beginning of the baby can be stacked even in the basket, it still does not turn over. In general, every pregnant woman decides for herself - whether to prepare her dowry or not, what prejudices to neglect, and which ones to take for truth. In the end, it is she who is responsible for the new life that she carries under her heart.
