reaching

[arachne]

my friend said that you shouldn't reach or stretch for things when you are
pregnant or you will rip the placenta. is that right? i hadn't heard this
when pregnant with DS. if it is true, when does that start?

Nope, silly wives tale. The other version is that you shouldn't reach above
your shoulders because it will cause the baby to tangle in the umbilical
cord. Neither is true. Reach and stretch to your hearts content!
