\nOtros mandamientos o consejos daba la partera a la preñada para que los guardase entretanto que duraba la preñez. Mandábala que no comiese aquel betún negro que se llama tzictli porque la criatura por esta causa no incurriese el peligro que se llama netentzoponilixtli, y que no se hiciese el paladar duro y las encías gruesas, porque no podría mamar y si muriría. Tambien mandaba que no tomase pena o enojo, ni recibiese algún espanto, porque no abortase o recibiese daño la criatura. También mandaba a los de casa que lo que quisiese o se le antojase a la preñada, que luego se lo diesen, porque no recibiese daño la criatura si no le diesen luego lo que se le antojado. También la partera mandaba a la preñada que no mirase lo colorado porque no naciese de lado la criatura. Mandaba la partera
