Mythbusters’ Kari Byron Protects Her Baby Bump

Working on a show like Mythbusters, where blowing up cars and firing cannons is just part of the job, the safety precautions you must take to safeguard a baby bump can really change things in a major way.

“I have weird little worries…like how loud does a gunshot have to be for the baby to hear it? And how much nitrogen can be in the atmosphere before it’s a danger to the pregnancy? I now know that I have to be 5,000 feet from an exploding bomb instead of 2,000 feet!”

I’m sure weird little worries like that are perfectly normal during most pregnancies. Don’t most moms have a collection of neuroses that they worry about affecting their pregnancy?

The main difference here is that most of the things Kari does on Mythbusters could severely endanger the life of a full grown, fully armored adult, much less a fetus.

True to form, Kari has also set out to bust some pregnancy myths:

Pregnant women should avoid spicy foods; they may trigger labor — False.

If you’re carrying high it’s a girl, and if you’re carrying low it’s a boy — False.

The resulting color of mixing urine with drano predicts the sex of your baby — False

Do people really believe that drano trick? Sheesh.
