There is no denying that the teachings that parents pass on to their children, from generation to generation, are loaded with wisdom and popular knowledge, from those who have lived situations and have life experience. However, some of the popular rules related to pregnancy are wrong, they are just myths. Learn 10 of these myths about getting pregnant.
1. Washing the vagina after sexual intercourse does not prevent pregnancy. As soon as the partner ejaculates, the sperm are thrown directly into the cervix and circulate at a speed of 45 km / h, so there is no way to stop the process by taking a bath.
2. Who believes that sexual position can influence the sex of the baby is mistaken. There is no relationship between the chosen position and the gender of the child.
3. A recurring question among couples wishing to have a child is: Do we need to have sex every day? The answer is no. The sperm stays in the fallopian tubes for two days. To ensure that sperm will be there when the woman ovulates, it is indicated to have sex three times a week.
4. It is possible to be a mother even after 30 years of age. Every woman who has no pre-existing problems ovulates at linear intensity until age 35. After this age, production decreases, which makes getting pregnant more difficult. Anyway, as long as there is menstruation, there are chances of pregnancy. The problem is that the older the mother, the child may suffer from malformation.
5. Some believe that body temperature shows when a woman is ovulating, but it's just a myth. Body temperature varies from woman's health status, so it cannot be used as a parameter to detect ovulation.
6. Some women believe that if they get their legs up after sex, they are more likely to get pregnant. As already explained, sperm are thrown into the cervix at 45 km / h, regardless of where the woman is.
7. Since childhood, women feed the dream of having a child. Today, the advanced technology with which medicine works helps fulfill this desire, but does not guarantee pregnancy because some people have chronic problems.
8. Sitting on pillows does not increase a woman's chances of getting pregnant. It is myth.
9. Those who are afraid of taking birth control pills because they think that after stopping use, when trying to get pregnant, they will have trouble getting it, they may be carefree. If all the medicine has been taken under medical advice, and as soon as the interruption has been planned and directed, there will be no problem.
10. The time between gestation of one child and another does not influence anything in the second pregnancy. If mother and father have no fertility-related health problems during the period, the pregnancy will be successful.
