Oops that is sad the worse is the mum will forever be guilty that her actions led to any of these deformities in her babies.for the part of no sewing, cutting etc on the bed, i choose to believe. it might end up as a coincidence but i dont want to blame myself for the rest of my life if anything happened. i would rather play it safe. anyway sewing on the bed is dangerous too, what if u drop a needle n didnt know? it might poke u when u slp. so for me, all these cutting and sewing, i will just do at the table. safe and easy to pack up.
also, i have heard of true stories that hv happened, so i believed. my mum's friend sewed the crotch area of her husband's trousers on the bed, and when her baby girl was born, she didnt hv a vagina hole.. maybe it was a coincidence? but then, who knows?
from what my mum told me, the chinese believe that when a woman is preg, there is a 胎神, and sometimes when u do XX thing then the timing might clash with the 胎神, and thats why the thing will kena on the baby. its up to each n every individual to believe, but some things, u shldnt joke and laugh about it when it comes to religion. i believe that some old wives tales might hv some truth in it as some ppl might hv experienced it, while others, were made up along the way. to be believe or not, it is up to u.
Ok I really shouldn't laugh about the makeup thing in that case, never heard of such misfortunes but there really might be some.
