sylviex Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The closed topic is about a serious issue, as we all understand. However, when I saw the title, I thought it was about advice to pregnant women that was unwanted. Something like : you mustn't eat lemons or the child will be bitter. Might be interesting to look at some Thai and non-Thai "advices" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssabai Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ha ha....just reread it your way and see what you mean! Oops! How about "pregnant women shouldn't have sex"? If I was pregnant that would certainly be some advice I wouldn't want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Pregnant women shouldn't drink Guiness as they might give birth to a black baby! It's true, it happened to a woman who lived around the corner from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I remember reading one in here where some guy's mother-in-law told him her daughter should not look at monkeys while pregnant because the baby would look like a monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would someone fix the title of this ? I stuffed up the beginning. I'm told many Thai nicknames are related to a food the mother craved during pregnancy.

Boo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 My son has a birth mark on his head, a small beauty spot on his left temple, to the thais this is very lucky & have been told that he will be prosperous in later life but when we moved house, one of the removers was from the west indies & told me they beleive that craving manifest into birthmarks & that I must have craved chocolate as my sons birth mark looked like a chocolate chip He then preceeded to show me a mark on his leg calf that had the shape & colour of cooked liver to prove it was true cause apparently his mum craved liver whilst preggers with him I did eat chocolate chip boaster cookies through the pregnancy so there may be something in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakswanna Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 You aren't supposed to go to funerals when you are pregnant, then the child will only half-way close his/her eyes when sleeping. My cat does that, it is pretty freaky sometimes...wonder what kind of thai cat funerals are put on around these parts??... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've never been to a funeral in my life but my son has always slept with snake eyes, as we call it, both of them a little bit open. It really freaks me out so I make sure he is asleep & then put his eyelids down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
