Sradham is coming up next month and im around 5 months pregnant. My saas is saying husband shouldnt do it during this time but no one is clear why. Anyone know what is the actual belief here? bit confused.
Actually, my husband had to do his father's barsi when I was 7 months pregnant recently. Our priest told us that performing it for own parents is completely fine, but we just avoided the heavy fasting for him. It went smoothly, so don't worry about any bad vibes, everything will be fine.
Yes, he can do it, but usually, there are some small changes in the rituals depending on how many months pregnant you are. Please don't worry, just ask an elder in the family to guide him.
Honestly, I was super stressed about this too during my first trimester. My in-laws said it is allowed but with some restrictions depending on who the shraddham is for. Has anyone else's family followed similar rules or is it different in every community?
From what I have seen and heard, some families allow it only for the husband's own parents, while others suggest avoiding it completely during late pregnancy. Since everyone's family traditions are different, it's always best to ask your family panditji or elders. Don't stress too much, just do what feels right for your peace of mind.
Listen, there's no harm in performing rituals for ancestors, but customs vary from family to family. He can definitely perform it for his own parents, but for others, there might be restrictions like not doing Pinda daan. Just talk to your family priest once and clear it up, simple.
