Oh! I had a bunch of TTC wives tales but I can't find them! Let's see if I can remember some:
If you are TTC, sleep with the diaper of a friend's newborn under your bed. (it didn't mention new or used!)
There was one something about if a woman baked a cake and the top falls in it means she is pregnant???
Heartburn during pregnancy means your baby will be born with a lot of hair.
Anyone who denies a pregnant woman the food that she craves will get a sty in his eye.
Hang a gold wedding ring on a thread above the mother's stomach. If the ring swings back and forth, the baby is a girl. If the ring moves in circles, the baby is a boy.
Sitting on a dirty toilet seat can make you pregnant. (HA! if that were true we'd probably all be pregnant!)
If the hair on your legs is growing faster during pregnancy, it's a boy.
And I must I once wondered that if a new mother threw here newborn in to a crowd of TTC women, would the one who caught the baby be the next to get pregnant? (No, I've never met a new mom willing to try, but hey, I asked...)
Non TTC / pregnancy wives tales:
It is said that if a woman's second toe is longer than her big one, she will wear the trousers in any marriage she makes.
Fart free wherever you may be, for not farting was the death of poor Mary Lee.
Points to ponder, enjoy!
