For real? Hands down. Is it okay to reach over your head.
Okay so no I don't believe it. But I'm still curious. I am short and alot of things are out of reach so sometimes i tip-toe and reach over my head. Now, a lot of ladies at work keep telling me no no no. Its getting annoying I'm still capable of doing for my self and if its too high i get a step stool. One lady told me that when she was pregnant her doctor told her not to stretch like that because it could cause the baby to get wrapped up in the cord. (that was at least 28 years ago) so has anyone ever heard of this? just crazy or not? I'm thinking just plain silly.

They honestly believed that several years back. We will be likely saying similar things that we believe now but in a few years time will be proved not true!
Oh man, I better remember that pose when it comes time for L&D.
It's not just an OWT, it's what drs truly believed years ago and told their patient's not to do. I wonder what our kids will be able to laugh about someday when they're having kids.
I jogged up a few steps at work and one of the older women told me off.
Again jogging will make the baby fall out.
They do mean it well though. People did genuinely believe that reaching up could do bad things.

Oh no! I'd better tell my prenatal yoga instructor that we should stop doing warrior pose!
When I was put on modified bed rest, I wasn't allowed ot lift anything heavy over my head, but that was a very different thing!
