    Myths 
        VS 
   Truths !!!!

There are so many old wives tales & superstitions about pregnancy , even after birth and what your baby will look like.. such as avoiding watermelon as it may make your baby’s head big .. from dangling a gold ring over the bump to avoiding dark foods if you want a baby with fairer skin!! There have been a range of myths in out there that we have been coming along through our old grandmothers but here we are putting only a few of it….#

Myth :     CONSUMING SAFFRON DURING PREGNANCY                     WILL RESULT IN A  FAIR SKINNED CHILD !

Truth :    Saffron helps to improve immunity as rich in vitamins & minerals & is also considered good for relaxation. but, will it give fair skin?? sorry but that isn’t one of its benefits.

Myth :     PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULDN’T EAT PAPAYA..                     IT CAN CAUSE MISCARRIAGE !

Truth :    Okay, this one is very popular in india ! So much that some mom-in-law completely ban all food beginning with ‘p’ as papaya, peach, plum. Papayas are said to contain a late substance, which mimics human hormone that may trigger labor, though you might need to eat a good deal of papaya to actually start a labor..

Myth :  STRESS IN PREGNANCY  IS ALWAYS BAD FOR                         THE FETUS !

   so, you can say it’s a partial myth !!

Myth :     WALKERS WILL TEACH A BABY TO WALK                                  SOONER !
