关于怀孕的一些谬论

4. LIFTING HEAVY OBJECTS COULD CAUSE THE PLACENTA TO RIP FROM THE UTERINE WALL 举重物可能导致胎盘从子宫壁撕裂

Lifting something cannot not cause the placenta to shear from the wall of the womb, cutting off the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, Saade says. The concern with lifting, he says, is that the mother could injure her back or lose balance and topple over.
举重物可能导致胎盘从子宫壁剥离，从而切断对胎儿养分和氧气的供应，Saade说。但他说的对举重物的担心是母亲可能扭伤腰部或因失去平衡而摔倒。

Being pregnant, especially during the final months, is like carrying a bag full of groceries all day--extra weight in the front that shifts the woman's center of gravity and makes it harder to balance, thereby putting stress on the spine, along with increasing her risk of falling.
怀孕，尤其是在最后几个月里，就像是整天带着一个装满杂货的袋——前面过多的重量使女性的重心改变，让她们难以保持平衡，更多的重量压在脊椎上，伴随的是越来越多的摔倒风险。

Lifting something heavy only adds more to that stress, Saade notes, upping the chance of back injuries such as pulled muscles.
Saade提示：举重物只是增加了脊椎承受的重量，增加后背肌肉拉伤的风险。

5. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD AVOID PEANUTS BECAUSE THEY UP THE BABY'S ODDS OF DEVELOPING AN ALLERGY TO THEM 孕妇不应吃花生，因为这会增加宝宝对花生过敏的可能性

There is no compelling scientific evidence that eating peanuts, shellfish or other potentially allergenic foods during pregnancy affects the baby's risk of developing allergies, according to Aziz Sheikh, a community health scientist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland who has studied childhood allergies.
根据苏格兰爱丁堡大学研究儿童过敏的社区卫生科学家Aziz Sheikh的研究，没有确切的依据证明孕期食用花生、贝类或其他会引发过敏的食物会增加小孩以后对这些食物过敏的可能。

U.T.M.B.'s Saade concurs. "For an allergen to affect the baby during pregnancy," he says, "it has to get into the mother's [blood] and then cross the placenta in a form that remains allergenic." But, he notes, the mother's metabolism might break down food allergens into nonallergenic components (such as amino acids and short chains of amino acids) before entering her bloodstream and reaching the fetus.
U.T.M.B.的 Saade同意这一说法。“对于在怀孕期间影响婴儿的变应原，”他说，“它需要渗入母体的血液，然后以仍然可能引发过敏的形式穿过胎盘。”但是，他提示道，母体的新陈代谢可能在食物过敏原进入血液、到达胎盘前，把它们分解成不会引发过敏的成分（比如氨基酸和短链氨基酸）。
