Filipinos pregnancy beliefs

Hello my beautiful read cash family!

How was everyone here?If you wanna ask me ,well I am not so fine today ,first I am sad knowing the bch is still in dip ,I am wishing that it will pump so that I can convert it without a heart ache haha,I really need to withdraw my bch earnings coz we are planning to buy some materials we needed for building a house next week ,I had already some list for the partial materials needed and I was shocked of its prices,oh my! It is so expensive .Second,we don't have an internet connection start at early in the morning around 4:30am when I woke up to prepare my husband breakfast ,there was no internet connection and thats the reason for not able to active here and around 12pm ,the connection is back so I quickly check my read cash account and I started to write an article ,I planned that after I publish an article I will read some of your works but when I almost done ,sigh! The internet connection was lost and I wasn't able to save it .Diba ang sakit?lol!

Enough for that chitchat ,my topic for today's blog is about pregnancy beliefs thats some filipinos are believing it,I got this idea because of my pregnant niece who keeps asking some beliefs if its true but honestly some of it I was believing.

Don't eat Ampalaya and Egg plant

During my first pregnancy ,I honestly believe this ,many said that I should'nt eat this vegetables even if I really wanted to eat especially the ampalaya but they said that the baby might be miscarriage because of its bitter taste and the Egg plant can causes some illness like the "alpersiya" I don't know whats the english and tagalog term of it.Also the gabi,they advices me not to eat those vegetables but during my second pregnancy ,I searched it in google and found out its not true so I eat this kind og vegetables and thanks to God ,nothing was happened to my son.

Don't eat left over from a pregnant woman

They said that if you eat the left over food from a pregnant woman it can makes you sleepy and I believe this ,at my first pregnancy I was working as a cashier and I did't told my workmates that I was pregnant until my baby turns 4months in my womb ,and my bagger who always eat my left over foods ,keeps saying that she always sleepy even if she was having enough of slept at night and when I told her that I was pregnant ,she said I am the reason why she's sleepy always during our working hours hahaha.

Don't eat colored dark food

Many said ,especially the elderly that eating a dark color food like chocolates,grilled food the baby's skin color will dark and it will be having a dark birth mark.At my first pregnancy I hesitate to eat those grilled food like fish and pork but it was my favorite food especially the bangus ,I always eat grilled viand and I put in my mind that its not true hahaha.

Don't take picture of a pregnant woman

They said that taking a picture of a pregnant is your putting the baby in risk ,its not good according to those who believe it but for me the fact is I don't want taking my self a picture because of my so haggard face ,and my nose became bigger hahaha ,I know some of you can relate this especially if your already in 8-9months pregnant.And now a days many pregnant women are having a maternity photo shoot and maybe few filipinos are believing it.

Swallow a raw egg during the labour time

Many are believing this ,according to them swallowing a raw egg during the labour will makes a pregnant woman easier time during delivery.Some of my friends was doing this and it works for them but for me ?nahh a big No ,my mother in law gave a raw egg for me when I was in labour with my first son ,I want to refuse to eat the raw egg and I was thinking that I can't take and swallow that raw egg ,even if my husband told me my mother in law not to forced me it swallow the egg ,might I will vomit.And since it was my first pregnancy I tried my self to believe it and I swallowed it but it did'nt work haha,I find hard to delivered my son ,actually the doctor decided that I had to done the Cs operation because I was having a small sipit and thats the reason why its hard for me to delivered him normally but thanks to our almighty God ,I delivered him normally because of fundal push they did to me.

The paglilihi

They said that if your in paglilihi stage or you wanted something to have or something to eat you should have it or else the baby will miscarriage.My pag lilihi stage was so hard for my first pregnancy coz I always looking for spaghetti but most of the eatery here was not always selling spaghetti,and I don't want to eat my own prepared spaghetti ,I wanted to buy ,there was a time that I asked one of my co worker to a spaghetti for me but he wasn't able to buy because no one was selling ,I felt bad about it and I wasn't able to hold my tears ,oh my! I was crying like a little child who the wish was never granted haha ,my husband learned that I was crying because of our guard who told him ,so he called his friend who was working in City and asked to a buy a spaghetti in Jollibee but his friend refused my husband's request because he did'nt know how to order and he never experience to buy food in jollibee and because my husband told him that I am pregnant ,his friend did my husband's request and said because your girl friend is pregnant and I don't want that you will blame in incase there's something bad happened to your baby ,i'll do your request even if I don't know to order and he laughed when he told my husband about his first experienced in Jollibee.And that time when I recieved the spaghetti I felt like I'm the happiest preggy on earth hahhaha.
