We often get asked this question on Molastic.blogspot.com , and the answers by most of our readers is this, there is nothing wrong with drinking cold water when pregnant. According to this  news report , the common myth in Nigeria is that pregnant women stand the risk of giving birth to babies with asthma, pneumonia and several other respiratory diseases if they consistently drink cold water. That is why in some of our communities, older women appear highly incensed with pregnant women who discard this age-long admonition by drinking cold water. Another is that if a pregnant woman drinks a lot of cold water, the blood vessels in the respiratory mucous membrane such as nose, throat, windpipe will shrink suddenly and cause a reduction in the flow of blood and consequently reduces the woman’s resistance to diseases.

It’s so tragic to hear someone say I hate myself.� But down deep, many people do. It seems there are so many things in this world that attack our self-esteem and sense of worth. Some people, perhaps even you, are locked in their own personal jail, full of self-loathing, desperately wanting to get out, but not believing they can. Have you ever heard someone say they hate themselves? It might seem like they are just crying out for attention. But many times, it’s a very honest evaluation of how miserable someone feels about himself or herself, even if it sounds exaggerated or overly dramatic. Caroline described her self-hatred like this:  For a while I hated myself because I thought I wasn’t good enough to be in this world. I thought I was ugly, stupid, and weird.
