"When I was pregnant past my due date a co-worker advised me to drink cod liver oil mixed with vodka. Apparently this mixture would upset my digestive system, give me horrible diarrhea and thus trigger labor contractions."
What’s the weirdest advice you have got from people during pregnancy? On a Reddit thread, mothers shared their experiences and they are just hilarious to say the least. Take a look:
1. “To not drink water because it causes nausea.” -melbell518
2. “When I was pregnant past my due date a co-worker advised me to drink cod liver oil mixed with vodka. Apparently this mixture would upset my digestive system, give me horrible diarrhea and thus trigger labor contractions.” -hydrawoman
3. “My labour should be painless because Jesus died and erased the ‘pain during childbirth’ penalty humans got from Eve. If I feel pain, it’s because I don’t believe in Jesus’ redemptive powers.” -Lotrfreqally
4. “Don’t raise your arms above your head, it will tangle the baby’s cord and the baby will die.” -queenoreo
5. “I was 18 when I had my son and was already terrified. Had to be induced and ended up having to have a c section because labor just wasn’t progressing and his heart rate kept dropping. For the first year and a half of my sons life my mother told me I wasn’t a “real” mom because I had to have a c section.” -iwantmypizzaback
6. “My MIL: don’t eat spicy foods or stand under the moon.. ugh..” -MamaDMZ
7. “That if you try really hard and stretch a lot, you too can have a vaginal birth. Not actually a bad plan, as long as you don’t wind up not freaking dilating after 30 hour and have an emergency C section due to fetal distress. Because I just didn’t try hard and stretch enough.” -Pennyem
8. “sitting with my legs crossed will cause miscarriage; don’t take a bath, itll cause a miscarriage; lifting more than 5lbs will cause a miscarriage; wearing tight fitted clothes will cause a miscarriage.” -TacomaGirl93
9. “My grandma constantly told me not to argue with my husband because it would cause the baby to be ‘fussy’ and ‘difficult’.” -lemonseedsforme
10. “To not use vaccinations. Ya I want my child to die from completely preventable diseases.” -Overdrv76
