Debunking Pregnancy Old Wives Tales with Tala Odeh

Who Run the World

On this episode we welcome for the second time on the podcast Tala Odeh, who just like Marilyn, is expecting a little girl later this year. We talk about the different (and ridiculous) old wives tales about pregnancy. After doing some research on the internet, we found that the majority of old wives are around guessing the gender of the baby, and a whole lot of old wives tales are extremely sexist. We spend the episode debunking the old wives tales (Marilyn had a great time using Google as her weapon) and even inventing our own old wives tales.

If we missed any old wives tales, don’t hesitate to send them to us on our email [e-mail] or on our instagram @whoruntheworldpod.
Finally and as always, if you have a few bucks to spare, we’d love it if you would consider donating to one of the Lebanese charities below. Lebanon is going through a crippling economic crisis, and people are struggling to get their basic necessities. Every little bit counts.

• Lebanese Red Cross
• Beit el Baraka
