Meri saas told me to avoid going to the temple now that im pregnant and im a bit puzzled about the reason. is it some health thing or just a belief? im 3 months along. curious what others have heard about this.
When I was pregnant and staying with my parents, they used to say it's better to avoid crowded places like temples, especially in the later months. It wasn't about any bad omen, but more for my comfort and safety, so I wouldn't trip or get pushed. If you feel calm and it's not crowded, then offering prayers from home is also good.
With twins, I could barely get myself out of bed, let alone to a crowded temple! Seriously though, it's mostly for practical reasons – avoiding crowds, standing too long, strong incense smells, or difficult stairs. It's not some spiritual ban, just common sense to prioritize your comfort and safety. Who needs a temple when you're growing two tiny humans, right?
Oh, this is one of those traditional beliefs that made me overthink everything! My MIL told me not to go. But honestly, my doctor said it's perfectly fine as long as you're not lifting heavy things or standing too long, especially on a crowded day. It's more about physical comfort and safety, not actually 'bad luck'. If you want to go, just be careful and listen to your body.
I'm in my second trimester and this question has come up in my family too! My elders say avoid it for some unknown reasons, but my doctor didn't say anything specific. I feel like it's mostly due to crowds and the effort of standing or kneeling. Did anyone else get conflicting advice on this? It's confusing.
My focus was mostly on diet management for gestational diabetes, so I didn't get specific advice on temple visits. However, I can imagine the concern would be crowded places causing physical strain or potential for infections. Best to weigh the pros and cons for your own comfort and health. It's not about tradition as much as practical safety.
I've heard this from elders too, and I'm a bit curious about it. I think it might be because of the crowds or maybe the long standing involved. I just want to stay safe and healthy when I do get pregnant, so I'm trying to learn about all these things. Maybe it's just about avoiding discomfort?
While I was advised to stay active with light walks and prenatal yoga (after doc's okay), temples often involve prolonged standing, climbing stairs, and navigating crowds. These are physical stressors to avoid. It's not a ban on spirituality but a practical measure for physical well-being. If you want to pray, do it from a calm, safe place or at home.
From a practical standpoint, it's often advised due to concerns like crowded places, long queues, potential for pushing or falling, and sometimes fumes from religious rituals. It's more about avoiding physical discomfort or potential health hazards rather than any spiritual restriction. If it's a quiet, safe temple, there's usually no medical reason not to go.
I heard different things about this when I was pregnant. Some people said don't go, others said it's fine. Personally, I just avoided very crowded temples and made sure I was comfortable if I did go. I think it's more about personal comfort and avoiding strenuous activity or large crowds.
Ho na, I think it's mostly a traditional belief, more for safety and comfort than anything else. Like, long queues, thoda dhoop, ya phir bheed mein dhakka lagne ka dar. Haan na? My gynac always said if you feel good and it's not too crowded, it's fine. You can always pray from home too.
Look, it's mostly a very old traditional belief, not really a medical one. The main reasons people suggest avoiding it are practical: crowds, slippery floors, smoke from lamps, or stairs. All these things can be risky for a pregnant woman. If you want to pray, you can do it peacefully at home. Safety first, always.
Haha, yeh toh ghar mein sabse common discussion point hota hai! My saas ji said it's about not being exposed to too many unknown energies, but my doc just told me to avoid crowds and long standing times. So, I think it's mostly practical advice, just like avoiding any other place that might be physically tiring or risky. Listen to your body and your doctor.
