Pregnancy: Everything You Need To Know
Pregnancy
Myths: Busted
You hear so much silly stuff when you are
pregnant. Things you should do and things you shouldn’t, and
a whole array of other stuff. There are myths about craving,
sickness, gender, multiples, and when you will deliver. None
of them are proven fact and you need to learn to just laugh
and enjoy them with out giving them too much thought. Your
very well meaning great Aunt should just be smiled and nodded
at and taken with a grain of salt. If you listen to every single
thing you will hear in the next nine months you will go crazy
and probably rip your hair out.
Predicting
the baby’s sex seems to be the biggest area of focus when
it comes to pregnancy myths. They can even reach
to conception and timing of sexual intercourse. Many people
claim that timing sex can up your chances of a girl or boy,
along with diet and an array of other things. This is not true.
The evidence that these theories are using has been proven
different and outdated. The latest reports link sex to what
polarity the egg has when it is released. The egg and sperm
have membranes that carry specific charges. The X and Y sperm
have different charges and whichever one is the opposite of
the egg’s charge will get in. Like a magnet opposites attract
and likes repulse. So it doesn’t matter how, when, or where
you had sex, what you get is a 50/50 chance.
During pregnancy many people will tell you an array of opinions
to the sex your baby. Some say that if your carry in front
and low it is a boy and if you carry all over and high, it
is a girl. Not necessarily true. The way a woman carries is
typical for her body structure and internal composition. Many
women carry in a similar way each pregnancy no matter what
sex each of her children are. So, even though this can be fun
or aggravating to hear, it isn’t true or proven. This is a
harmless myth that doesn’t impact the pregnancy whatsoever.
Some people will ask you to do things that you should not to
determine the sex. Don’t stop taking any prescribed medications
or vitamins unless that comes straight from your doctor. Don’t
ingest or breath in anything not recommended by your doctor,
it isn’t going to be true any way and could cause you are your
baby harm.
Many
people also say that the baby’s heart rate can predict
the sex of your baby, the faster it is means it is a girl,
and if it is slower than it is a boy. The fact is that a baby
of any sex should have a heart rate of between 110 and 160
beats per minute, and this can range from baby to baby and
even change from the beginning of pregnancy to the end. The
baby’s heart rate tends to be slower at the beginning of pregnancy
when the heart first learns to beat. As the pregnancy progresses,
the rate increased during the first and second trimester to
encourage blood flow and growth. By the third trimester, the
baby’s heart rate levels out to what it will be at birth. The
only way to be 100% sure what sex you are having is to have
a genetic test done while pregnant such as amniocentesis that
will tell you which two sex chromosomes the baby has. Sonograms
can tell you with a higher accuracy what you will be having,
but are not 100%. Many people have thought to be having one
sex to find a big surprise at delivery. Plus, not all babies
cooperate during a sonogram or show a clear picture of the
right part for determination.
Other
myths of pregnancy include the hair your baby may or may
not have. They say if you if have heartburn during your
pregnancy you will have a baby with a full head of hair and
if not, you may get a baldy. Well, the truth is that most women
have heartburn at some point during their pregnancy. This is
due to hormones and pressure put upon the digestive system
as pregnancy progresses, not hair of any kind Heartburn is
based on what you eat, not how much hair your baby will have.
So take these myths in stride and just laugh. There are so
many, anyone could write a book or three. Click here if you have a baby on the way and want a whole lot of free stuff when your little miracle pops out. It's my SolveYourProblem recommendation.
