Actually these things are quite common with the mid wife and old ladies predicting such things about pregnant woman. My late nanima taught my mom all these dos and don't involving pregnant woman, pregnancy and after giving birth. We have confinement period for 40 days after giving birth and my mom would cook only specific food and there is a lot of things you can't do and need to drink as well as eat a lot of herbal stuff *yuck* I have three sisters who are married and they have seven children between them and I have seen everything there is to see about confinement, restrictions and all sorts of weird stuff.
But having said that I love love babies and when my nieces and nephews were babies, I would help my sisters with the kids. I used even babysit my cousins, so I am certified baby caretaker. I have watched and learned from my mom and late nanima.😆
There is saying that if you are pregnant and the stomach is round and small, then it is a boy but if you have a bigger behind (bum) then it's a girl coz the girls are carried by the back. I know these ancient old things are weird 😆
I dunno what to say abt Gau's mom, hate her and less said abt her the better.
