Unsolicited Advice?
I am a FTM and while I agree I don't know a thing about pregnancy, everyone around me keeps telling me what to do, even girls who just got married and have never been pregnant. I enjoyed the attention at first but not anymore! I like to think rationally and all these old wife tales are driving me crazy. Instances:
1. A coworker told me to eat coconuts so my baby will be fair. My parents are from India and am proud of my skin tone. I really don't think skin color matters so much anyway.
2. One relative told me to bake bread with loose flour on top so my baby will be born with lots of hair on head.. Ahem ..excuse me?3. Someone else told me to pray everyday so my baby will be religious.. 4. The same coworker told me not to watch movies in theatres or wax.. Coz those things can sometime startle you and that's bad for the baby.The list can go on and on.
