When you are pregnant, there will always be those three aunts and six grandmothers around you to remind you of various taboos and customs about pregnancy. They will swear to tell you that if you don't believe them, you will suffer. So, are these folk taboos right? Let me introduce you. I hope you like it.

First, unreasonable taboos.

Some fasting during pregnancy is a summary of people's long-term life experience, and some are based on medicine. For example, pregnant women who eat certain foods that are difficult to digest or easy to get sick are listed as taboos. But many of them are sheer nonsense, but they also reflect people's desire for prenatal and postnatal care.

Common folk dietary taboos without scientific basis are as follows:

1, pregnant women should avoid eating rabbit meat, otherwise the baby will have rabbit lips. This statement has a wide range and a long history. Zhang Hua, a native of the Western Jin Dynasty, recorded in the Natural History that "pregnant women should not spit rabbit meat, and rabbits are invisible, which makes their sons lack lips."

2, can't eat dog meat, otherwise the child will love to bite people in the future, and will also love to bite nipples when breastfeeding.

3, can not eat donkey meat, otherwise the child will be "donkey-like" and disobedient in the future.

4, avoid eating cocks, so that the children born will not cry at night.

5, avoid eating crabs, so that the children born will not lick the foam and drool, saying that eating crabs makes the fetus dystocia. Folklore in Taiwan Province Province believes that children born after eating crabs will scratch and twist other people's hands and feet like crabs.

6, avoid eating ginger, in case the baby has six fingers.

7, avoid eating ducks, think that eating ducks, children will shake their heads and feel sick.

Second, the behavior taboo of pregnant women

Many folk taboos during pregnancy are not necessarily scientific, but most of them are conducive to maintaining the physical and mental health of pregnant women, to the normal development of the fetus, or directly to the protection of the fetus.

1. Pregnant women's houses can't be demolished, repaired or moved.

This taboo is mainly related to moving to the fetal god. Of course, when you move, you have to arrange things and move heavy furniture, which really increases the chances of accidents for pregnant women, but these jobs can still be done by your family.

2, pregnant women can not sew needles, can not move scissors.

According to legend, children born in this way may have defects. In fact, about 2-3% of all fetuses have malformations of different sizes at birth. It may be that these small uncertainties have gradually formed such a legend, which is impossible to talk about.

3. "Happy to be happy" endangers mother and child.

Traditionally, there is a saying that during pregnancy, when brother-in-law and sister-in-law get married, they can't meet a limousine, otherwise the fetus will be frightened. If they attend the wedding, they can't eat the wedding reception, cakes and sweets, so as not to endanger the mother and son. This situation is also difficult to understand, but it is also a unique custom of China people. Similarly, pregnant women can't watch funerals in case they are in a hurry. There may be some truth in this, because pregnancy is a happy event. Now more and more attention is paid to prenatal education, because the sad atmosphere of funeral will affect the mood of expectant mothers, which is not a good thing after all.

4, drying clothes leads to abortion

After pregnancy, many movements are not suitable for pregnant women, especially paunchy, which often has limited activities and is easy to fall. The problem should not be the housework itself, but the accident in the process. Anyway, if you are taken care of after pregnancy, let the other half help you with a lot of housework.

5, pregnant women can't watch the maternal delivery, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth in the future.

This taboo has a scientific basis, because pregnant women can easily feel a kind of mental stress when they see the painful expression of their mothers and hear the cries of their mothers, which may lead to dystocia.

Third, other taboos during pregnancy

In some suburbs, it is popular for daughters to send their beds to their parents after pregnancy. After a woman is pregnant, parents usually send a single bed to her son-in-law about three months after pregnancy, which is called "sending a separate bed". Obviously, sending the shop implies that the couple will live in the shop separately from now on, which is beneficial to the health of pregnant women and the development of the fetus. So when can't you have sex during pregnancy? In addition to not being too violent during pregnancy, what should we pay attention to?

Experts believe that sexual intercourse should be reduced or stopped as much as possible in the first 3 months of pregnancy and 2 months after pregnancy, and sexual intercourse should be controlled in the middle period. Abdominal pain or bleeding, or when the doctor thinks that abortion or premature delivery may occur; Those who have obstetric reasons such as placenta previa should not have sex.

Fourth, look at the folk customs during pregnancy.

1, drink more fresh milk, and the baby's panel will be very white?

Many expectant mothers believe that drinking more milk will make the baby's panel white, while brown and dark drinks or eating curry will make the baby's panel yellow and black. In fact, the color of fetal panel is influenced by parents' genes, which has been determined by their genes at the moment of pregnancy, and has little to do with the diet during pregnancy.

2. Have a baby with bad teeth?

In folklore, there is a saying that "having children is bad teeth". In fact, the reason why the ancients said this is mainly because most pregnant women are malnourished or do not know how to balance nutrition. When calcium is insufficient, it is natural to have dental health problems during pregnancy or after delivery.

Now expectant mothers can have the same "white teeth" as before pregnancy as long as they pay attention to balanced nutrition, supplement more calcium and do a good job in oral health care during pregnancy.

3. Is it good for the fetus to eat more fruits?

Old people always advise expectant mothers to eat more fruits. They think that fruit is nutritious, which is good for both mother and fetus, and it doesn't matter if you eat too much. But in fact, expectant mothers should not eat too much sweet fruit, let alone eat fruit as a meal, otherwise it will easily lead to an increase in blood sugar in the body, which may lead to gestational diabetes.

4. The troubles of Chinese medicine

Many expectant mothers and elders at home believe in the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and hope to help the fetus develop better through traditional Chinese medicine treatment or traditional Chinese medicine diet. In fact, although Chinese medicine is mild, expectant mothers should use it with caution, such as some drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, drugs for promoting qi circulation and expelling wind, drugs for removing cold and heat, and drugs for cooling blood and detoxifying.

Some expectant mothers want to strengthen their fetus by taking tonic, but in fact, supplements such as ginseng, velvet antler and longan can't be eaten indiscriminately. Expectant mothers can only take traditional Chinese medicine and various tonics under the guidance of professional doctors.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) is the folk tradition of puerperium.

In the traditional confinement, there is a folk custom that advocates "confinement without washing your hair!" "Sit on the moon and eat big supplements every day!" "Be sure to sit for 30 days!" Like other creeds, confinement seems to be a difficult point in life, which makes many women who are pregnant or have just given birth nervous. In fact, these taboos of confinement must take into account the factors of time and space background, including the environment, climate and customs of previous lives. Considering the electrification of daily necessities and different water sources in modern life, it is not necessary to fully accept the taboo of confinement. Modern confinement should be scientific, healthy and comfortable! We should give birth in a scientific way and promote the new concept of postpartum health care.

1, you can't wash your hair and take a bath in the second month, because you will get cold, and you will have a headache and physical pain in the future.

Some people think that new mothers can take a bath after childbirth, but it should be 3 days after childbirth in summer and 1 week after childbirth in winter, and the frequency of washing should not be too frequent, especially for those who are physically weak. When taking a bath, the water temperature should be warm, even in hot summer, it should not be lower than 37℃, because too cold water will lead to stagnation of maternal blood, which may also cause irregular menstruation and physical pain in the future.

After taking a shower, if your hair is not dry, don't braid it and don't go to bed immediately, otherwise the invasion of moisture will cause headaches and neck pains.

In fact, if there is no wound, and fatigue has recovered, you can take a bath at any time, and it is not advisable to use a tub bath, but the bath time should not be too long. It is most suitable for 5 ~ 10 minutes each time, room temperature 20℃ and water temperature 34 ~ 36℃. After washing, dry your body quickly and get dressed in time to avoid catching a cold.

It is suggested that new mothers must choose according to their physical condition and bathing situation at home. As long as the warm-up measures are taken, the new mother can rest assured that she will wash her hair and take a bath, without blowing or catching a cold before and after bathing, and the water used is clean and hygienic.

2, you can't brush your teeth and comb your hair in the month, so your teeth will loosen prematurely and your scalp will hurt.

The new mother after delivery should brush her teeth and comb her hair every day as usual. Most of the food eaten by pregnant women is soft, and the self-cleaning function of the oral cavity is lost during chewing, which is more likely to provide conditions for the formation of dental plaque. Therefore, the new mother can't ignore brushing her teeth, and she can't help brushing her teeth.

Combing the hair can circulate the blood of the scalp, keep the hair roots healthy and make the hair look better. The new mother can keep the habit of combing her hair as before.

3, can't eat vegetables, fruits and cold food, otherwise it will hurt the spleen and stomach and teeth.

Modern medicine believes that you can eat vegetables, fruits and cold foods after delivery. Because the recovery of the body and the secretion of milk need more vitamins.

In fact, vitamin C can stop bleeding and promote wound healing, while vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins. Moreover, they also contain more dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and facilitate postpartum laxation. But when eating fruits and vegetables after delivery, we should pay attention to the freshness and cleanliness of the food.

4, can not get out of bed activities, to lie in bed, so that the body can recover quickly and well.

The current view is that normal pregnant women can get out of bed 24 hours after delivery, and pregnant women with perineum lateral incision can get out of bed 3 days after delivery. If the new mother lies in bed all day, or even eats in bed, it will not only reduce the appetite of the parturient and slow down the recovery of reproductive organs, but also lead to general weakness and poor mental state, which may easily lead to diseases such as endometritis and vascular embolism. If the parturient can get out of bed frequently, it will enhance abdominal muscle contraction, promote uterine recovery, discharge lochia, stimulate appetite and prevent urinary retention and constipation. Early maternal activities of cesarean section are also to prevent intestinal adhesion.

5, you can't go out to blow after childbirth, even if you are indoors, you are afraid of the wind, and your body should be tightly covered to prevent stroke.

In the past, this may be related to poor postpartum nutrition and weak resistance, because it is easy to be infected by germs and have a fever. Nowadays, pregnant women have sufficient nutrition intake and strong disease resistance. They must ventilate indoors to keep the air fresh, but be careful not to blow air. New mothers don't need to be wrapped too tightly. If they do this in hot weather, it will lead to heatstroke. In hot summer, blow the electric fan in the opposite direction, so that the wind bounces against the wall and the indoor air circulates. Don't blow the cold air of the air conditioner directly on the parturient. The room temperature should be kept at 26 ~ 28 degrees Celsius and the humidity should be 55% ~ 65%. This environment is conducive to the rest of women.

6, postpartum 100 days can not have sex.

This custom is very reasonable. Because postpartum reproductive organs need at least 8 weeks to recover, pregnant women with complications need more adequate rest. Premature sexual behavior is prone to inflammation, uterine bleeding and perineal tear. So wait until the lochia is completely clean and the postpartum examination is normal, more than 2 months after delivery. It is feasible to have sex after taking contraceptive measures.
