Current Practices During Pregnancy

It is somewhat interesting to see some practices still followed in Anatolia. Here are some I have found. A pregnant woman,

• cannot look at a bear, monkey or camel;
• do not eat fish, rabbit, trotter;
• do not chew gum;
• do not attend to a funeral and look at a corpse;
• do not eat in secret.

And following are recommended to pregnant women:

• watching the moon in admiration;
• looking at beautiful people;
• sniffing roses;
• eating quinces, apples, plums and grapes.
