Theres a chandra grahan coming up and my dadi keeps telling me all these dos and donts, dont eat, dont cut anything, sit still and all. Im 6 months along. I dont fully believe it but i also dont want to upset her. What did you all actually do?
I just rested, prayed quietly and stayed positive during grahan. It felt nice and calming for me. Whatever you choose, keep your mind peaceful, that matters most for baby.
Beta in our families during grahan they tell pregnant women to rest, not use sharp things and stay calm. I followed these softly because elders feel happy, but there is no harm in just resting peacefully. Do whatever gives you mental peace.
Honestly there is no medical proof that grahan harms the baby, my gynac said so clearly. The customs are family tradition, you can follow what feels comforting. Just dont stress yourself or skip food and water unnecessarily.
My MIL asked me to rest and not eat during grahan, so I just rested and ate a little before and after. I didnt fight over it, kept everyone happy. But I made sure I didnt stay hungry for too long, that part I managed quietly.
