Becoming a mother is a pleasant feeling for every woman. But the pregnancy journey is a very long journey of 9 months. During this time there are many ups and downs as well as many hormonal changes. Everyone’s pregnancy journey is different. But one thing that is often forbidden during this time is for a pregnant woman to avoid rubbing her bulging belly too much.
According to an old Chinese proverb, the child of a woman who rubs her belly too vigorously will be spoiled. What the myth suggests is highly improbable. However, it should be noted that a developing fetus can feel touch as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. The mother can feel her baby by passing her hand over her stomach.
There is no negative effect on the child but any pressure on the stomach should be avoided.
If your pregnancy is at risk of premature delivery, avoid touching your belly too hard. This can stimulate the uterus to contract more intensely.
