Old Wives Myths

Hi... Read about all these "pantangs" during pregnancy be it from Chinese or malay myths. How true is it? There's too many till I'm kinda off paranoid. Any opinions? I don't mind taking precautions though

Erm... Dun comment other kids naughty or disobedient. Dun attend funeral and wedding. (Clash) First tri keep mum. Only announce after 13 weeks. Put adorable baby poster in your room Dun let ppl slap your back or put pressure on your shoulder. Dun let ppl slap or beat your buttock These are the things I avoid during preg.

I follow most of it just to be safe. Theres this painting of house and sticking thing is very true. Own experience my tummy hurts when there's a minor renovation at home when they drill. Which I'm not suppose to be there the moment I step outside the door and waited outside everything OK.
