Old wives tales and pregnancy advice

This lady I work with is dead serious about the advice she gives me. Recently she told me I should eat whatever I want during pregnancy, or the baby will be born with his tongue sticking out.
She also told me that she could hear her fetus cry while she was pregnant. Any good ones you've heard?

Re: Old wives tales and pregnancy advice
I have heard the one about lifting and the cord. Not the one about broccoli and chocolate, it is bit presumptuous because what if you don't breast feed.
My Ex MIL would not let me visit a dying family member in the hospital because of some reason it affecting the baby. (if it was my family I might have thrown more of a fit but felt I should have been there for my EX) I thought this was very silly because I WORKED IN A HOSPITAL! She also wouldn't let me in her house because there was mouse and if it ran across my path my child would look like mouse. LOL
I've heard the one about not lifting your arms above your head, but only on here, not IRL.
The dumbest thing I've heard IRL: My uncle thought that 25lbs of weight gain would mean a 25lb baby. The man has three children... how does he not know how this works??
She said that her doctors didnt believe it... But she swore her husband heard it. Aren't their lungs filled with fluid at this point? I think it's scientifically impossible to make a crying sound in there. I just laughed and nodded and then turned towards my computer and rolled my eyes into my skull. She also told me she had in n out, a sprite, and a milkshake on the way to her GD test and then failed it... so I'm pretty sure she doesn't have the most common sense.
