Fun Facts About Pregnancy

The ancient Egyptians watered bags of wheat and barley with the urine of a possibly pregnant woman. Germination indicated pregnancy, and based on what type of grain sprouted they predicted the gender of the fetus.

Hippocrates suggested that a woman who had missed her period should drink a solution of honey in water at bedtime. Resulting abdominal distention and cramps would indicate the presence of a pregnancy.

In the 1950s, a female frog was injected with serum or urine of the patient. If the frog produced eggs within the next 24 hours, the test was positive. In the frog test, the animal remained alive, and could be used again.

A survey conducted at Iowa State College in 1969 suggests that a parent's stress at the time on conception plays a major role in determining a baby's sex.The child tends to be of the same sex as the parent who is under less stress.

According to Aristotle, wind direction determined whether a baby would be a boy or a girl.

Statistics based on more than a half-million births occurring in New York City hospitals between 1948 and 1957 show a significantly greater number of births taking place during the waning moon than during a waxing moon.

During pregnancy, the uterus expands to 500 times its normal size.

A woman's arthritic pains will almost always disappear as soon as she becomes pregnant.

During pregnancy a woman's blood volume increases up to 50%. In addition to meeting the needs of the foetus, this is a reserve against fluid loss that occurs during childbirth.

Sweden has the lowest birth rate in the world, 1 in 100. Malawi, in Africa, has the highest, 5.3 in 100.

The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69.

From 1725-1765 a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.
