VLOG| Mga Pamahiin para sa Buntis

You've probably heard a lot of things that you should or shouldn't do from our elderly when you were/are pregnant. Here are some of them:

1. Bawal pumunta sa burol/lamay - I think I've heard this one countless of times, although no one can actually tell me why. My husband is very strict when it comes to this particular pamahiin. From what I've heard from other moms, aantukin ka daw sa labor or it's because the formalin used there is bad (emphasis on really bad) for you and your unborn baby. Even though I haven't visited any wakes during my pregnancy with Maggy, I was in and out during my delivery with her. I blame the drugs used to induce me to labor. 
2. Bawal magtahi habang buntis - According to this pamahiin you would most likely end up having a C-section because of the sewing. I had no idea about this during my first pregnancy. I sewed (or at least tried to) mini cloth wipes in my attempt to be that eco-friendly mom who only uses re-useable everything. As you know I had a C-section in 2012 so this could be true. However, I also have a couple of friends who I know for a fact did a lot of sewing while they were pregnant and still had Normal delivery. 
3. Bawal tumambay/magstay ang buntis sa pintuan - Mahihirapan ka daw manganak kasi ma-stuck ang baby habang nanganganak. I don't personally know anyone who likes hanging out in doorways and I don't have that habit either. I have different "beliefs" for this one thanks to Charmed ;P
4. Kailangan maligo kapag lumindol at bawal tumingin sa buwan/eclipse - Correct me if I'm wrong because I only vaguely remember this, you're really not supposed to look at the eclipse directly. I think it's bad for your eyes or something. So I recommend not looking at it regardless if you're with child or not, for your eyes' sake. Magkakabalat daw sa mukha na parang buwan kapag tumingin sa buwan. I have a cousin who has a birthmark on her face but I'm not sure if her mom looked at the moon. I have to ask her about that...but she probably won't remember.
5. Hakbangan ang asawa para siya ang maglihi - Self-explanatory, pretty easy to execute. I've tried it. No matter how many times I do it, hindi siya naglihi. I had high hopes for this pamahiin. Tsk.

I'm not judging anyone who believes in the things mentioned above. Personally, I'm not a superstitious person so I don't follow or believe them with all my heart. Let me know if you've heard of other pamahiin while you're pregnant. Did you follow them? Why or why not?
