Stupidest things you've read...

...that you CAN'T do while pregnant?

To the people scared of listeria, you know that listeria is found in every type of food, right? Right now there's a huge recall on frozen fruit and vegetables. You can also get it from fresh fruits and vegetables, canned food, ice cream, restaurants (Chipotle *cough cough*) and pretty much any other type of food that's not been cooked to a high temperature

Don't sleep with a cat because it will steal your baby's soul ???

Btw, listeria in deli meat is possible. It doesn't mean that all deli meat has listeria but it is possible if the food is not handled properly (ie: it was left unrefrigerated, unhygenic location etc). As an adult you would not feel any symptoms, but it is very dangerous for your baby. You can have miscarriage, early delivery etc. It is safer to warm the deli to kill any bacteria. Just think of it like food poisoning, you eat at a shady restaurant, a street food stall, or a suspicious food cart and you don't always get food poisoned. DO NOT TAKE THIS RISK. Just because you never get it before doesn't mean you won't ever.

It's funny, because when I was pregnant with ds in 2001, my OB told me not to lift my hands above my head, because it raised the risk of the umbilical cord wrapping around his neck.

I was also told not to lift anything above 10 lbs.

Dont have sex because you can hurt the baby ? yea ok my pregnancy hormones were insane and thats all i wanted ??

Dont reach for things up high because i would wrap the cord around my sons neck.

when I was around 12 weeks during the holidays we were doing a game of like "bring me" which is when the host tells you to bring random stuff and then you race to get it first to the host and if you do, you win.

Well one of the items I had and I rushed up and when I won I did a celebratory dance and was jumping for joy and all the elders were like "you're pregnant you can't be dancing and jumping like that" ?? kinda killed My vibe.

I was doing some sweet disco moves.

Not while pregnant, but still related. One of my sils swears you can't ride roller coaster while nursing because the shifts in gravity will make your milk dry up. I still laugh about that one.

@nurse true true listeria won't cause issues on the momma but it is fatal to the fetus. That's another reason why I don't eat soft serve ice cream because of this risk. Those machines hardly ever get cleaned properly (I work in the food industry and over 90% of the time when they are taken apart they are moldly because they go weeks without cleaning and just fill with new mix)

The dumb thing I've heard is not to step out during an eclipse if you're not wearing a red ribbon or a metal safety pin on your belly or it will cause birth defects.

The vaginal blowing is due to the possibility of an air embolus forming which can be fatal to the baby, mom, or both.

Oh you can't receive oral ?

The deli meat thing is a real thing. It is bc the bacteria listeria often lives in it and if you contract during pregnancy you can cause miscarriage.

It is advised to microwave or toast deli meat to kill the bacteria prior to eating.

Because it will cause the baby to "unstick". And also later in pregnancy it will cause the umbillical cord to wrap around baby.
