Our partner Dolores (who will have been a mom again and from here we send our warmest congratulations) in her post about the 10 most common myths of pregnancy informed us about several popular news that are not true and that we should not take into account, today we add five more to expand the list on myths about pregnancy that have no basis or foundation.
It has been said that having sexual intercourse during pregnancy can lead to an abortion, in fact sexual intercourse is safe as long as your doctor does not advise you against it. They are generally not recommended when placenta previa is detected or there is a danger of having an abortion.
That bathing during pregnancy exposes the baby to possible infections is totally uncertain, if the cervix (cervix) is well sealed, absolutely nothing can enter the bag of amniotic fluid.
Many times they recommend not eating any type of cheese during pregnancy and this is not entirely correct, except for unpasteurized cheeses, those that have mold or those that are blue, since they can transmit listeria, a bacterium that can seriously affect the pregnancy, the rest of the cheeses are totally safe and recommended. A myth that makes no sense and that we can hear on occasion is the danger that when the future mom's arms are raised, the umbilical cord can be rolled up. With a little common sense, we can realize that it is absolutely false, the fact of moving the arms has nothing to do with that possible complication.
It is also said that when traveling by plane you can expose the future baby to the radiation generated within it. Radiation is virtually non-existent and there is no need to deprive yourself of taking a plane to travel.
Many are the myths and unsubstantiated news to which we should not give any kind of credit.
