also my girlfriends gma said that sitting Indian style/criss cross applesauce/ whatever you call it…

probably not just like I was told reaching over your head does the same thing but it's a old wise men tale I did my hair all through both of my pregnancy plus this one n the first two came out without that happening

okay I just worry because this is my first. and that's a super comfy position for me to sit in lol

well I hope that isn't true I've been sitting criss cross my whole pregnancy...

@lovechild426, right? its so comfy haha

when my fiances brother and girlfriend were having their first baby the doctor had them sit that way as much as she could during the induction to try to help contractions

like help stop them or start? @ryleighanne

I have asked my OB these questions before and she told me anything could cause the cord to wrap around the babies neck! Not sitting criss cross though. She did say that lifting heavy things over your head can possibly cause it but there's no actual proof!

start she had to be induced so after the got the pill and walked she dilated to a 3 and he broke her water and had her sit straight up with legs crossed as much as possible. it helps the baby push down more using gravity

@lilanne1927, thank you, that makes me less worried. and @ryleighanne so I probably shouldn't sit like that if I've already been having contractions?

I'm not sure, I'm your far enough along I dont see the problem with it but if not then I wouldn't

@ryleighanne, ah okay :)
