Let me know your thoughts
To what extend do you believe in superstition and old wives tale during pregnancy? Did you follow strictly, if not, what did you not follow and did anything happen?
I take it with a pinch of salt. Some of the things i try to rationale it by myself. Sometimes its not merely superstition or old wives tale or pantang but i feel theres logic behind it. Of course some doesn’t make any sense. Haha. Like for us in malay community, they will believe in not going home late when you are pregnant etc as there will be spirits who will follow you home and affect your baby. so from there i try to reason it out oh yes its true that pregnant women shldnt be home late as they need to rest. They shld be at home during this hour and not outside. I feel like sometimes all these things were from the olden days. They educate or pass their message or reminders by instilling fear. In all, just follow if it puts you at ease, whichever way you are comfortable with.
