Talking to a former colleague on the phone, I learned she was pregnant. I quickly cared about her pregnancy life, is there any physical discomfort? Is it good to eat? Enough nutrition?
Colleagues said that everything was fine, that is, the mother-in-law managed her too much, and she was very tired of such a life. Moreover, the customs of pregnant women that her mother-in-law said made her very speechless.
You may be wondering, in this era, there are still unacceptable pregnancy customs? The thing is, the husband of the colleague is more than ten years older than her, and the mother-in-law is older, which may also be the reason why the mother-in-law's thoughts cannot be turned.
The mother-in-law said that after pregnancy, the sheets could not be changed, or even washed, and should be used until the baby was born. Also, pregnant, can not eat beef, otherwise the baby born, the temper is very sharp, like a cow, looking in a direction and not listening to people.
There are even more outrageous, pregnant can not go out, to walk can only walk around the house, really no freedom at all. Colleagues are angry, so they run to the roof every day to sit down, and by the way, they can breathe fresh air.
Now I don't want to think about anything, so I think my husband will come home for the holidays and take himself outside. Colleagues said that if you don't go out to relax, you will be moldy at home.
I advise my colleagues not to think too much, and when the Spring Festival holiday is over, you can follow your husband out and don't stay at home. Otherwise, if the time is long, it will have a bad impact on colleagues and the baby. If you are worried that you will not solve the problem alone, you can call me, you can help, I will definitely help.
The colleague listened to my advice and was very moved, she really wanted to follow her husband out and not stay at home anymore. I have had such a thought before, but I have not come out, that is, I am worried about being pregnant, and I can't deal with the problems I encounter. Now that I promised to help, she decided to come out and live after the Spring Festival.
In fact, in my opinion, the mother-in-law of the colleague has no ill will towards her, but her own knowledge reserve is insufficient and has not kept pace with the times. However, the mother-in-law of the colleague has a good intention, for the sake of the colleague and the baby in the belly. Therefore, colleagues can solve problems when they leave their mother-in-law's line of sight.
Since it comes to the customs of pregnancy, I have summarized some old customs in different regions to see if any of them exist around.
Custom 1: Do not eat rabbits. Why not let the rabbit eat it? Is it because rabbits are cute? Of course not, pregnant women eat rabbit meat, worried about eating the baby into rabbit lips.
Custom 2: Do not eat duck. I have the impression that duck is eaten as a daily meat in many areas. However, there is a custom that pregnant women cannot eat ducks, saying that pregnant women eat ducks, especially duck brain shells, and the baby born will shake their heads like ducks.
Custom 3: Do not eat turtles. Why can't you eat a turtle? The reason is that the limbs of the turtle are very short, and the pregnant woman eats the turtle when she is pregnant, and the baby who is born has short hands and short feet.
Custom 4: Do not eat beef. The reason is different from what the colleague's mother-in-law said. After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant and eats beef, the baby born has dark skin.
Custom 5: No hair can be cut. When a pregnant woman cuts her hair during pregnancy, she will turn the baby in her belly into a daughter. If this statement can come true, it is estimated that many couples rush to cut their hair, and there are many people who want to have daughters.
Custom 6: Do not climb trees. Pregnant women cannot climb trees, and trees that pregnant women climb will not be able to blossom and bear fruit in the coming year.
Custom 7: You can't use scissors. Pregnant women use scissors to scare the baby in the stomach.
In fact, these customs can be passed down to the present, on the one hand, the previous people's cultural level is not high, the people around them say that pregnant women can not do this, do that, and then they do not have the ability to distinguish, they believe; on the other hand, some customs have a certain reason, such as custom 6, pregnant women can not climb trees, I think it is right.
Of course, it is not that the trees that pregnant women have climbed will not bloom and bear fruit in the next year, but that pregnant women are pregnant, have babies in their stomachs, and it is too dangerous to climb trees. Therefore, pregnant women can not climb trees.
Written at the end: As a pregnant woman, people around me say that this cannot be done during pregnancy, and that cannot be done, which is a custom that has been handed down before. We can't blame them, after all, they have a good intention, for the sake of pregnant women. However, as a woman in a new era, what you can do and what you can eat when you are pregnant still needs to have a scientific basis.
