A former colleague told me this. I didn't believe cos I was carrying a male child and my first born was a boy till I experienced it.

Anugod:
Mamas good evening o, abi good night
Abeg come to my aid o, mamas of two and above.

Is it true that when one is pregnant for the second it will cause the first to start falling sick? I know I've heard that it's mere superstition and I actually don't believe it but how do I explain my situation?

OK, first, my neighbor told me that I should stop sleeping on the same bed with my dd. That she'll be jealous of the one in vitro, and that one in turn will be beating her. It sounded so ridiculous to me and I laughed it off. But she was insistent and said, should my girl fall ill, it's my fault. That I should sleep elsewhere and when my bump is big, I should be bathing with her and make the water from my belly touch her while bathing. She even blamed the recent malaria my girl had on me. I didn't quite take her serious tho.


But coincidentally or otherwise, these days, my girl struggles and cries from her sleep and most times would wake up and find it really hard to sleep back until the early hours of the morning. This in turn affects me as I won't be able to catch enough sleep before getting up to prepare for the day. I keep wondering what's upsetting her from her sleep. I pray for her continuously most times before she's able to sleep off again.

This is making me to begin to think ridiculously, like is it possible my pregnancy is disturbing her? In your subsequent pregnancies, did you experience anything like this? Do I really need to stop sharing a bed with her? Or what do you think it is?
