Old wives tales ?

Is anyone following any old wives tales ?
or heard of any old wives tales ?


I have a couple:

Don't eat lamb or your baby will have epilepsy
Don't eat shellfish or your baby will not have nice skin

Wow never heard those. People at work tell me not to want for something and touch a body part because the baby will be marked wherever it was I touched. Of course being a wisea$$ I did it anyway so I'll let you all know if my baby comes out with birthmarks all over it.Chat Icon

If that's the case then my baby will have horrible skin because I've eaten shrimp quite a bit in this pregnancy.
