9 silly parenting advice you should rather avoid

9 silly parenting advice you should rather avoid9 silly parenting advice you should rather avoid

People say silly things to a pregnant couple. You'll probably roll over laughing when you hear some of these

For a young couple who is still trying to figure out each other, having a child is a big step. Especially, when you have crazy tips coming your way. Here are some silly ones you’ll probably hear first.

1. Pregnancy will give you a ‘glow.’ Does that mean, you'll be looking like a light bulb throughout your pregnancy? Ehh!

Parenting advice

2. Don’t eat lemons, it’ll make your baby hairy. Look what happened to Anil Kapoor! His mother clearly had a fixation.

Parenting advice

3. Do you wear pee-pads? You should, because you’re bladder will be completely out of control. It's better to pee in the pads than in the pants!

Parenting advice

4. If you have a C-section, close your eyes, because you don’t want to see your organs lying on a table next to you. Who's pulling them out anyways?

Parenting advice

5. You can use a nipple cream as a lip balm. Two birds, one arrow! Yo!

Parenting advice

6. Don’t lift your arms high over your head, your umbilical cord will wrap around your baby’s head and strangulate him. You don't want that to happen now, do you?

Parenting advice

7. Don’t eat sugar, you’ll make the baby hyperactive. Do it unless of course, you want your child to participate in a marathon.

Parenting advice

8. Don’t have sex while pregnant, you’ll poke the baby right in the face. Do you want your baby to look like Jonah Hex?

Parenting advice

9. Register for pre-school before its too late! It's time to run mums!
