Becoming a mother is a pleasant feeling for every woman. But the journey of pregnancy is a very long journey of 9 months. During this period, there are many ups and downs along with many hormonal changes. Everyone’s pregnancy journey is different. But one thing that is often prohibited during this period is that a pregnant woman should avoid rubbing her bulging stomach too much.
According to an old Chinese proverb, the child of a woman who rubs her stomach too vigorously will be spoiled. What the myth suggests is highly improbable. However, it is worth noting that a developing fetus can sense touch as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy. The mother can feel her baby by moving her hand over her stomach.
