- Chances of labor are higher when the moon is full - False
- Holding your arms over your head can cause the cord to tangle - False
- Pregnant women should avoid litter boxes - True
- Full moon = increased birthrate-
There is no predictable influence of the lunar cycle on deliveries or delivery complications nor to the gender of the baby. As expected and in agreement with some recent studies this pervasive myth is not evidence based. - Holding Your Hands Above Your Head Can Hurt The Baby -
The truth is that the positioning of your hands has nothing to do with your baby’s positioning in the uterus or the umbilical cord becoming wrapped around him. Babies born with the umbilical cord wrapped around them is actually quite common as it happens in about 1/3 of all pregnancies and is actually caused by the early movements your baby makes in utero, while they are still small enough to make them. - Pregnant women shouldn't change cat litter-
This one is true, due to a virus called Toxoplasmosis that can be present the cat's waste products.
