Superstitions and Old Wives' Tails

[twinmamma2b]

OWT have always made me chuckle, but being pregnant and in a mixed-race relationship has introduced me to a whole world of new ones.

My MIL and SIL have told me that once the baby arrives I "won't be allowed to" wash my hair and we "won't be allowed to" leave the house under any circumstances. Both of these embargoes last a full month!

I'm currently wearing a whole range of lucky jewellery and have the most random bunch of lucky objects by my bed.

Any other amusing ones you've heard of or been subjected to?

Typos again!! What on earth is happening to me! HELP!

• There are some really interesting ones, aren't there!

That heartburn means lots of hair, nope DD still has hardly any hair at 2.8!

That craving savoury things meant a boy - had a girl. Craved sweet things this time, it's a boy.

That a bump all at the front meant a boy - carried same way both times, one boy one girl
