Weirdest wives tale EVER-have you ever heard this?-Updated spoke to my friend
My friend down here just had a baby this morning and wer wanted to go see her. My friend told her husband that maybe I shouldn't come there because a pregnant woman going to a maternity ward can be dangerous???? The only thing I have ever heard is that being around a crying baby can make your breasts leak a bit but not that this is dangerous? Does anyone know about this? Its sounds ludicrous to me! Just in case anyone is thinking this it is not that she doesn't want us to come!
Update: She said when her sister had her baby she was pregnant and was told not to come into the ward because pregnant women give off pheremones that can make you get contractions. I've never heard of it but she freaked me out so I am going to wait until Thursday or Friday when she comes home! Thanks for your input-shes sort of a wackadoo anyway

I've never heard anything like that before. Seems pretty crazy to me, especially since most pregnant women tour the maternity ward at some point or other during their pregnancy.

I am thinking because there are a lot of germs in hospital in general and you don't want to catch anything now.

If that was true, they wouldn't have the hospital take us on tours!

Re: Weirdest wives tale EVER-have you ever heard this?
I never heard that one. As a matter of fact, I have been hospitalized 2x during my pregnancy and my stays have been in the post-partum section. I haven't had any weird vibes

I've never heard of that & never had any issues. If anything, I'd think you were in the perfect place.

Re: Weirdest wives tale EVER-have you ever heard this?
I think that's crazy. My BFF had a baby in November and me and 2 other girls were all preggo and visiting her at the same time. Our babies are all healthy.
DD did kick like crazy every time I held a baby while pregnant. Nothing dangerous there, just kinda funny IMO.

Yes this is a tale our family believes in too. I only had to go to one funeral pg (thank god) but when I went I did not go up to the casket or turn my back to the body. sounds silly I know, but when you have superstitions drilled in your head you sometimes can't help believing them.

When I was pregnant this was the only place I wasn't allowed (by my very Italian family) to go...funerals - wakes and masses.

Well I have been to 3 wakes and a funeral so I'm screwed if this one is true!
AND I was in maternity the other day for contractions so I'm pretty sure that one is pretty far out there too What happens when an OB nurse gets preggo- is she supposed to stay out of work?!?!

Re: Weirdest wives tale EVER-have you ever heard this?
I have definitely heard that your breasts can leak when you hear a baby crying (although I think that's AFTER you give birth), but I've never heard of any dangers in going through a maternity ward while pregnant.

Thats also true for Jewish people. We are not allowed on cememtarys when peggo. I had to talk to the Rabbi about going to my dads unveiling bc I felt awful about not going but I would have felt even worse if something happened to the baby.

Re: Weirdest wives tale EVER-have you ever heard this?-Updated spoke to my friend
I never heard of this. And how does this make sense anyway? In the maternity unit, the women aren't pregnant anymore so even if there were pheremones they wouldn't be there... and then wouldn't you be giving them off yourself and make yourself go into labor?
