We have written a whole book on pregnancy myths and superstitions called “Hands Off My Belly! The Pregnant Woman’s Survival Guide to Myths Mothers and Moods”. We cover myths from conception through the delivery room and into the postpartum period. You can buy it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or at Borders.

Coincidences are all around us, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they have an objective basis. This article clears up some of them, so yes, I will totally recommend it
