With the birth of a child, every mother changes literally before our eyes. And if before boldly walked across the road that a black cat ran across, then with the birth of a child, she begins to "slow down" ... Of course, this is not a rule, but in most cases it is so. So, is it true or fiction all these "pregnant" and "newborn" signs?

You can't rock an empty cradle, otherwise...

According to some data, the baby will have a headache, according to others it will be difficult to sleep and grow. There is even a completely frightening "prophecy" - there will be no place for a baby in this cradle. It is believed that the huge energy of the child is concentrated in the cradle, and it is this energy that provides the child with protection from many misfortunes. And if a mother or one of her close relatives starts to rock an empty cradle, then this energy, and with it the protection, is simply wasted and the baby remains defenseless. Toddlers begin to feel a lack of this energy, sleep poorly, grow and become very capricious.

By the way, the younger generation have modernized this superstition, and the same applies to the stroller, you can’t rock an empty stroller, otherwise the child will have a headache and the baby will not sleep well. So if during a walk your child asks to be held in your arms and categorically refuses to lie / sit in a stroller, then you need to take him in your arms along with the stroller, well, or let dad or grandmother carry the stroller. How else? Don't roll it empty. ... Probably, the parents of people of small stature wound kilometers along with an empty stroller.

In fact, even in historical roots there were some reservations that allowed rocking an empty cradle while maintaining protective energy.

To do this, it was necessary to conduct a certain ceremony. When the baby was taken out of the cradle, they put scissors and a bench stone in the cradle, and a broom under the cradle. It was these, so to speak, magical objects that miraculously protected the baby from all evil. It was believed that it was these objects that create a certain power, and otherworldly forces cease to influence the child in the absence of the mother. But when mom is around - this is the best magical amulet.

You can not rock an empty cradle, otherwise the second child will appear in it.

You should not take everything literally, and if you rock the cradle for a long time, no baby will materialize in it. This is just a sign that, as it were, hints to parents that another baby will soon appear in the family.

In general, it must be said that these are opposite superstitions. And one sad superstition speaks of a baby, then in another case it can speak of replenishment in the family. Which, of course, is for joy, not for sadness.

In the old days, when knowledge of conception was the most primitive, and the best test for pregnancy was the sprouting of green onions, then this superstition was treated with sufficient respect. Whether this myth worked or not, only they know. Modern mothers are quite skeptical about him. By the way, the rocking of an empty cradle also foreshadowed the birth of two children at once - twins. And if today it is wonderful, as mothers say, she suffered once and two at once, then in the old days the birth of twins was fraught with many difficulties, even death. Obstetric care left much to be desired. That is why for a modern woman the myths that prophesy the birth of twins are pleasant, and for women in the old days it meant only one thing - fear for their own lives and the lives of unborn children.

With the birth of a baby, all women change right before their eyes. If earlier a young mother boldly walked across the road that a black cat had just crossed, then with the birth of a child, a woman will begin to “slow down” ... Naturally, this is not a rule of last resort, but most cases indicate that everything is true. So fiction or truth, all these "newborn" and "pregnant" superstitions? Let's try to figure this out.

Why can't you roll an empty baby carriage?

According to one version, if you roll an empty stroller, the baby will grow and sleep poorly, and according to another, his head will hurt. There is also a frightening "prophecy" that there will be no place for the baby in this stroller. It is believed that the energy of the child is concentrated in the stroller, and it is she who protects him from many misfortunes. If one of the close relatives or the mother herself rolls an empty stroller, then the energy, and with it the protective field, will simply be wasted, and the baby will be defenseless. Children feel a lack of this energy, they are capricious, they grow and sleep poorly. So if your child asks for a walk in his arms and flatly refuses to sit / lie in a stroller, then you need to pick him up along with the stroller, or let grandma or dad carry the stroller. How else? You can't roll it empty...

Why can't you roll an empty stroller. Reservations

In reality, there are some reservations in historical roots that allow you to roll an empty cradle while maintaining protective energy. To do this, you need to perform a certain ceremony. When a child was taken out of the cradle, a verst stone or scissors was placed in it, and a broom was placed under the cradle. Thus, these "magical" objects incredibly protected the child from all evil. The ancients believed that it was these things that created a kind of field, passing through which otherworldly forces stopped influencing the baby in the absence of the mother. But when mom is nearby - this is a wonderful magical amulet.

There are two other opposing superstitions. And if one says that rolling an empty stroller can lead to the death of a baby, then the other says about the imminent conception of another child.

In the old days, when they knew practically nothing about conception, and the sprouting of green onions was considered the best test for pregnancy, this superstition was treated with great respect. Whether this myth worked or it's not true, only they know. However, modern mothers are very skeptical of him. By the way, rolling an empty cradle foreshadowed the birth of twins. And if in our time it is considered wonderful, as young mothers say, she suffered once and two at once, then in ancient times the birth of two children at once was fraught with many problems and difficulties, up to death. The help of midwives left much to be desired. Because for modern women myths prophesying the birth of twins are pleasant, but for women in ancient times this meant only one thing - fear for the life of unborn children and for their own.

Nowadays, every student is a sign that for the birth of twins one fine day, two sperm and two eggs must meet - a classic option, well, or IVF as an option. But this is also quite difficult: you need a combination of certain factors at the genetic level, which are transmitted through the mother's line. If the family has twins or twins born, then the probability of having two children at once is much higher. And the cradle or stroller has nothing to do with it ...

In the United States, there was a sign that a $ 2 banknote with the image of Thomas Jefferson was considered unlucky. The Americans tried not to take these banknotes in their hands or got rid of them as quickly as possible. After almost 50 years, it was decided to stop its production.

Stroller notes

Many possible events are associated with the most ordinary baby stroller. Future parents are often cautious, believing that a stroller bought in advance is a bad omen. But let's remember that any omens have a long history. Large "baby" things are often given as gifts by relatives or friends, and they are not purchased in last moment. And nothing bad happens!

In the old days, such restrictions were associated with the inability to accurately guess the sex of the baby.

• The girls were supposed to have "personal transport" of pink shades.
• Boys - something more "brutal" (dark blue, green, brown).

Today there is an ultrasound that allows you to understand in advance who exactly will be born. Yes, and the color preferences of the parents have changed, so few adhere to the traditions.

Baby carriage - signs with a hint

Suppose a woman dreams of becoming a mother, but how do you know when exactly these plans will come true?

• Previously, old people advised paying attention to signs: rocking a stroller with a child (someone else's) - to your own imminent pregnancy.

It turns out that this is a kind of training - well, or this is how some Higher Forces consider the action.

You can prepare for adding a family if you have a sudden chance to roll a stroller somewhere on the street - a sign says that you will have to go for a walk with your baby very soon. If good acquaintances present their own "transport", which was in use, to a pregnant woman, the gift should be accepted with gratitude and without any fear - this is for a successful birth and the health of the baby.

An empty stroller is a controversial sign

If somewhere in the house (on the balcony) there is a stroller, waiting in the wings - it's okay. Just a nice hint of far-reaching plans. But in no case is it recommended to rock or roll an empty stroller - a sign says that this will lead to serious problems if the family already has a child. The baby can become restless and even get sick!

Pets always explore new and unfamiliar objects with great interest. If your cat decides to take a nap in an empty baby stroller or crib, do not rush to kick your pet out. Purrs clean the energy of the place, removing any negative background. It certainly won't hurt the baby. In addition, all mustachioed-striped ones are sensitive to danger.

Knowledge about the conception and birth of a child did not always have a scientific justification. Long ago, when they were still primitive, different peoples there were signs about a rocking bed. More mythical than substantiated. And mostly negative.

Lullabies

So, a lot of superstitions about a crib have accumulated over the centuries.

• Rocking an empty cradle - to the imminent death of an infant. So believed in Yorkshire and Scotland.
• The Eastern Slavs also avoided this: you can’t rock an empty crib - you rock the devil.
• A child who has grown up in this cradle can become very capricious.
• Also, the unwitting authors of the "prophecies" predicted that the baby would not only sleep badly and grow, but also get sick.

The myth about the sickness of a child whose cradle was rocked without him is built around vital energy. It is believed that the crib, as an object closely associated with the baby, concentrates the energy of the child around itself.

It is this energy that protects him while he is small. And if someone starts rocking an empty cradle, then they waste the baby's vitality - he becomes defenseless.

A good sign or "punishment from heaven"

However, a positive interpretation of this ritual is also known. Rocking an empty crib foreshadowed the birth of a second child, and this is always a great happiness. True, twins could be born.

And in ancient times, this was not only a test, but also a great risk to the health of the mother. In addition, twins were considered “punishment for sins” (Slovakia). Times change, but signs remain.

Therefore, both then and today, mothers prefer not to think, just in case, not to rock their baby's empty crib. Is that now they also will not swing an empty stroller.
