| I am 65 years old and I had a great aunt that used to tell us we girls shouldnt bathe if we were on our period because we could get an infection.....I had forgotten all about that!!! I never heard that about dogs though.....but in any event, I think that is an old wives tale.....like dont reach up over your head with both arms if you are pregnant because you will strangle the baby..... |

My mom told me I couldn't hang laundry on the line because I couldn't lift my hands above my head or the baby would get wrapped in the umbilical cord. 30% of babies born have a nuchal cord. We just somersault them and unwrap.
