Is Lunar Eclipse harmful during pregnancy?

In many cultures, including India, the lunar eclipse is considered harmful for pregnant women. It is thought that it can affect the well-being of the fetus, leading to physical deformity, or ugly birthmarks. Although there is no scientific evidence to validate its effect, the belief is so strongly etched in our minds that a pregnant woman and her family naturally worry about her well-being .

It is said that if a pregnant woman is exposed to the moon while the eclipse is underway, she is prone to harmful effects. Therefore, it is advisable to stay indoors.

Many superstitions support the theory that a pregnant woman must do the following in order to avoid the negativity of the eclipse. They are:

– Avoid the use of a sharp object such as scissors, needles

– Avoid eating anything during the eclipse

– Rest for the duration of the eclipse

– Do not leave outside rays indoors

– Take a shower once the eclipse is over

– Do not cook anything during the eclipse

– Do not drink water during the eclipse

Remember, that there is no scientific data behind the foregoing and not to do. Make sure you stay hydrated and do not starve yourself for long hours as this can make you feel weak and cause acidity.

This is a rare super blue blood moon that will be seen tomorrow for the first time in 36 years.
