Do you believe in certain Filipino folklores relating to giving birth? I.e. "suob", "hilot", "binat"

Same here. After giving birth, my O.B. gave me a go signal to take a bath. However my in-law told me about "binat". After 1 week I experienced severe back pain and difficulty breathing. My in-law confirmed that it was "binat" and immediately scheduled me for "hilot" but when I consulted the doctors (OB & ER doctor), they told me that my body is just adjusting since I'm also breastfeeding. So I'm not sure if I should be scared that I did not listen to my in-law. Some say that there are people who died because of "binat".

yes and it's effective for me.. sa 1st born ko after giving birth pinahilot ako at sinuob dhil CS po me and ang bilis ko lng makarecover unlike dto sa 2nd baby ko dahil nga sa pandemic di ako napahilot at di dn ako nasuob dahil wala mama ko and nabinat dn ako ng very light dahil sa puyat at pagod tas stress dn gawa ng virus pero God is good dahil naging ok ndn nman ang lahat.. Wala nman po masama kung maniniwala tyo sa mga nakasanayan o mga payo ng mga matatanda mas maging maingat nlng po sguro always..

I still believe in science and medicine as opposed to these pamahiins. Maybe because I grew up with my mom not believing in those as well. However, having my first baby is easy for me to be vulnerable, a bit gullible, and fearful even. It is hard to ignore other people bombarding you with folklores galore. Still, I put my fears aside and read medical articles from reliable websites and read pregnancy and first-time mom books a lot.

yes and no. my extent na Hindi na Kasi OA na yung iba. ultimo konting kibot ko "bawal yan!" Wla nman sense, may mga phenomenon n Hindi maexplain siguro dun lng, Yung iba Kasi ginagawa n lng excuse and lahat kinakabit sa binat kahit my scientific reason nmn. haha kaya lalo napapahamak tpos sa huli kesyo binat at lamig🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ nakaka ubos ng buhok.

If related to giving birth, not really. It's because I've given birth twice via CS and never followed nor experienced any of these. When I came from the hospital, I took a bath with warm water, no herbs, no nothing. I didn't get the chance to have hilot also because I gave birth via CS nga, so the hilots in our place didn't want to do anything until a year or so daw.

Nope. Unlearned all those things when I got older kasi kung totoo syang nangyayari, dapat sa ibang bansa, ibang culture nangyayari din sya. Kung totoo sila, it should have a logical explanation. If by hilot you mean massage then ok lang, there's prenatal massage that can help alleviate pain related to pregnancy.

wlang masama kung mag iingat momsh. ung friend ng tita ko sa US nanganak un uso sakanila ung naliligo agad nagkasakit cya na hindi matukoy ng mga doctor. pag uwi nya ng Philippines pina suob cya ng mommy nya dahil baka daw napasukan ng lamig ayun gumaling mga sakit nya sa katawan. siguro ingat nalang din

kung prenatal massage, then yes! Laking tulong ng hilot sa akin. placenta previa ako nung 1st trisem, may danger of miscarriage pa. Hinilot ng MIL ko nung 4months na si baby. Nung pina-ultrasound ulit, ok na. hihi.

yes'to binat..kasi para sa akin,totoo naman talaga na pwede kang magkasakit if ever na magkamali ka ng mga kilos mo after pregnancy..at di lang pisikal kundi pati emosyonal stress..🤔
