Old wives tale about pram being in house

The old wives tale about having a pram being in a house is bad luck is it just for the first 12 weeks? I am now 31 weeks and my pram is at his parents which is 3hours away. What would you do?

I've never heard of this superstition before and what utter bollocks it is!

I think it's actually offensive to suggest that if someone loses a baby or their baby has health problems, it's because they did something like store a pram in the house or walk under a ladder.

Stop being daft and just put the bloody pram in your house. If you’re mature enough to be a parent then you’re mature enough to ignore complete bollocks that people spout to try and make you doubt yourself.

This. Just another way to blame women for things that are outside of their control. Ridiculous.
