Pregnancy/Birth Superstitions

I was intrigued by the various customs and superstitions (some of which Rachel Caloff held by, some of which she dismissed but her mother-in-law did not) mentioned in our reading. I found this article on tablet about where some of these ideas come from and how they are still expressed.

Look for a comment by Rabbi Adler (albeit a comment that I was sort of surprised by and should ask her about).
Also I like our nickname, "Pirkoi ben Baboi," better than "Go-go" for our prospective addition to the cohort.
