Hands over head..

Okay ladies. So I've heard if you put your hands over your head you can wrap the umbilical cord around your babies neck.. Is this true? Has anyone else heard of this?

yes, I've heard it. no, it's not true.

if that were the case, we wouldn't be able to wash our hair? lol - it's just another old wives tale.. I wash my hair, grab clothes out of the closet, etc. I'm only like 5'1" so I HAVE to reach over my head to survive!!!! lol!

you'll be fine. ((((:
