This is not a belief of mine but of my poor sister Jenna. Since she's been very small she's believed that when a woman was pregnant the baby drained her blood and she died when it was born. Then the dad married another woman to raise the child. I dunno where she got this idea but no one could talk her out of it till she was 22. That is when she married and found herself pregnant. In a panic she called me and told me the grave news. I went with her to the doctor who tried to set her straight. Still, she worried quite a bit until my little neice Olivia was born.
