One of the things that I dont really favour about pregnancy is all those "pantangs" or "taboo" that each races has in their very own culture.. And living in a place with 4 different cultures.. I get many "advises" from many about the taboos during pregnancy.. Of course, being me.. I follow what seems more logical to me.. even though I might a few exceptions. haha..
One of the things that I heard about was not to eat any kind of yellow fruits.. namely it was believe that the baby will suffer from jaundice.. Then there was another one about carrying sharp object with you around wherever you go.. my concern was.. what if I accidentally hurt myself with those sharp objects since I cant be far away from it.. Then there was another one that requires me to drink milk and soya so that my baby will be born fair-skinned. Hmmmm... there are many others but these few are the ones that keep on repeating to me on almost daily basis!!! gosh.. that wasnt easy to deal with..
Not that I'm being insensitive about these taboos but at times, Logic plays apart too.. If I were to follow every taboo lay out for me from 4 different cultures and races.. Gosh.. I just fear Malfunction.
Then again, I'm not conflicting those taboos cause there are people who carry that believe strongly.. Nonetheless for me.. nothing beats the prayer u grace every single day asking GOD for a healthy baby and a smooth delivery. Cause afterall.. baby is a gift from God Himself. Alhamdunillah..
