Might it be possible that a baby develop brain defect if you cross your legs while in labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting question: My answer is no.The blood flow to babies system is controlled through the placenta and that object does not change its flow based on how you position your legs. Poor placental flow might cause brain issues, as would oxygen loss. I thing someone is just "pulling your leg".
