Gender Pregnancy Myths
Posted in Pregnancy on 06/26/2011 07:32 am by adminClarification of a pregnancy Myth…?
I know its only a myth, but i keep hearing different versions of it so thought of getting it clarified. This is for purpose of baby gender prediction, if mother is glowing its a boy and if its a girl, then mother is looking dull and bad as a girl steals mothers beauty… But in certain countries its the other way around. If the mother is looking tired,ugly and dark then its a boy, and if the mother luks beautiful and fairer then its a girl… which one is true? or which myth is more reliable in prediction? Your experiances pls?
I know its only a myth…. just wanted to know how the myth goes across difference countries/cultures..doing an online search… it says Boys= Glow, Girl=Steals beauty!! In India, its the other way around…
Well, when I was pregnant ( with a girl) everyone always commented on how beautiful I looked, they always said my skin looked so healthy and that I was glowing…however, I have seen the same in women who carried boys. I think its only a myth..it really probably depends on the women and how her body handles the pregnancy. I have always had good skin/complexion and nothing really changed during pregnancy..I think it looked really healthy because I drank excess water during pregnancy. Hope this helps.

Mothers in Mourning: With the Essay of Amnesty and Its Opposite (Myth and Poetics) $1.39 “Nicole Loraux brilliantly elucidates how Athenian politics were ‘gendered’ in the Classical period.
