At my godh bharai everyone made me wear so many bangles and said its important. I didnt really get the reason behind it honestly. Is it just tradition or some meaning? Curious to know.
Beta, the sound of glass bangles reaches the baby's ears and calms them down. It also keeps the mother happy and positive. Just dont wear very tight metal ones, and apply some coconut oil if you need to take them off easily.
Traditionally, it's believed that the sound of bangles keeps the baby active and stimulates their hearing. For me, with my PCOS struggles, I just loved participating in these sweet customs as they kept me positive.
While the glass bangle sound is traditionally beautiful for the baby, please be careful about swelling. If you have any sudden swelling in your hands or feet, check with your doctor immediately as it can be a sign of high BP.
Bangles are worn during the baby shower for traditional reasons, but please make sure they aren't too tight. Swelling in hands is common, so if they feel tight, ask your gynac if you should remove them.
It's a beautiful tradition called Godh Bharai! The tinkling sound of glass bangles is meant to stimulate the baby's senses. Plus, it makes you feel like a beautiful queen during pregnancy!
My tracking app had a fun article on this! Scientifically, the sound of glass bangles is said to provide acoustic stimuli to the fetus from the 7th month onwards when their hearing develops.
I wore them because my family said the sound comforts the baby. But I kept worrying if the glass would break or if my hands would swell up! Just wear comfortable ones and enjoy the ritual.
