A member asked:
I heard), is it true if a pregnant woman loses her mucus plug & decides to take a bath, she can drown the baby from the water going into the womb?

Myths: No. This is not in any way real, true or even possible. Remember the fetus in the womb is very well protected and is already living in and breathing amniotic fluid.
