Filipino Superstitions


Pregnancy
-All windows and doors should be wide open for the laboring mother’s easy delivery.
-Pregnant women should avoid witnessing an eclipse, so that when born their babies would not have the habit of winking the eyes abnormally.
-A visitor must not sit or stand on the ladder or at the door, but come inside so that delivery will not be hard.
-The mother should not eat shellfish. These are slippery and if they are taken from the brook, the baby may be expelled from the womb.
-An expectant mother should not eat fish from pointed shells lest the baby have too much mucus or drool too much.
-A pregnant woman is not allowed to cut her hair, she will give birth to a bald baby.
-Pregnant women should not cry because they will suffer a difficult birth, and the baby will become sensitive and a crybaby.

General Health

-A menstruating woman should not eat sweets lest blood flow stop and cause illness or death.
-Let a dog lick your wounds, and the wounds will be healed.
-Sleeping with wet hair makes one crazy.
-Taking a bath at night will cause anemia or low blood pressure.
-Taking a bath on New Year’s Day and/or Good Friday will cause one to get sick.
-Parents who despise ugly children will bear an ugly child.
-Parents who despise or laugh at twins will have twins.
