Superstition

[Yanesmy89]

One of my best friend's sister passed away on Saturday and tomorrow is her funeral. However, my boyfriend and family won't let me go to the funeral bec they believe that a bad omen will come upon our baby that could put his life at risk. Have any of you ladies heard of this before??

Your welcome. There are alot of things I can't do right now that I would love to but have to wait until my son is born. I can't braid or sew or tie knots just to name a few. If you have any questions feel free to inbox me.

Thanks MissyMay. I guess I'm just worried that if (GOD FORBID) anything goes wrong with my baby boy, that they would blame me. I hear its a Chinese superstition. As silly as it sounds, I've been hearing it from a lot of people. It totally blows.

My husbands family believes the same way when there is death and you Are pregnant then if you go to the funeral and the body is there then I have to cover with a blanket just over my stomach until the body is buried in the ground even if I am not at the funeral. Anytime I am outside I have to cover up. My husband is native American. When his cousin passed away and he was a pall bearer he was not allowed to touch me or sleep in the same bed as me until after the funeral and he had to be brushed off by a minister after all was said and done. in their beliefs when one passes they will bring another family member with them if you are not protected. I Hope this helps some of your understanding. If you could compromise and cover your belly see if you can go and support that way just don't look at the body.

Okay, I'm sorry, but that's the silliest thing I've ever heard! I went to 2 funerals in one.month's time, plus a memorial service at the graveyard for another girl in town who was pregnant when she passed. I was pregnant for my son during all 3 and he's a beautiful, perfectly healthy 10 month old...

You should go support your friend in her time of need. It's all superstition

I went to several funerals whem I was pregnant with my daughter (5 yrs old) and shes great!! Dont let all the old wives tales get to you! That always madee so aggravated when people said stuff like that to me lol

[Mizzztaylor]

I think that's just a superstition. You should do whatever you're comfortable with. My grandma believes that when someone dies it means a birth is right around the corner.

I went to my baby daddy's grandmothers funeral the week before I delivered and the only thing I got from it was a daughter who is an absolute angel and has such a wonderful personality...also went to my grandfathers funeral while pregnant and never had anything bad happen...if something does happen, god forbid, it's not because you went somewhere

That's silly. Just another fabulous old wives tale.

[Yanesmy89]

That's exactly how I feel as well. I'd really just like to go. But my family and in laws are super over protective of me and the baby.
