My saas is very particular about nazar and keeps doing kala teeka and all. I do believe in it a little too. What do you all do to protect from buri nazar during these months?
My saas is very particular about nazar! She made me wear a black thread on my ankle and told me not to go out during eclipses or late evenings. It kept the family happy, so I just followed it.
In India, we strongly believe in evil eye, so it's best not to announce your pregnancy to everyone until the first trimester is over. Keep it private, spend peaceful time at home, and just ignore negative people.
Honestly, I kept my entire pregnancy off social media until my baby was born because of nazar fears. I also did the salt 'raai-namak' ritual every Saturday at home. It gave me mental peace during my pregnancy.
Wearing a black thread or putting a small kala teeka behind your ear is what our elders suggest to ward off 'nazar'. Just keep yourself hydrated and happy, and don't share scan photos on social media early on.
Since I conceived after a long battle with PCOS, I was very protective of my pregnancy. I didn't tell anyone except immediate family for the first 5 months. Keeping it quiet is the best way to avoid unwanted attention and evil eye.
