There are a lot of questionable practices when you're a pregnant woman: Is one glass of wine okay? Is it safe to exercise? Some women (and men) even think having sex will hurt the baby!
One thing I would never, ever think is OK for a pregnant woman to do is swallow a sword. That shouldn't even be a question! However, for 27-year-old mother and professional sword swallower Veronica Hernandez, being well into her pregnancy just means business as usual.
The Knox City, TX resident is nine months pregnant with her second child, but continues to swallow blades like the 14-inch steel sword in the following video.
"Being pregnant, you have to take in your posture, the difference in weight from my belly, and you have to remember all of this while you're preparing to pose and get your body in alignment with the sword," she told CBS DFW.
Although her OB-GYN and chiropractor assured her she knows what she is doing, I still find this activity questionable during pregnancy. What if she goes into labor with that thing down her throat?! So many scary thoughts run through my mind!
