We were planning to move to a bigger flat next month but my MIL is totally against it because im pregnant. She says its not good but cant explain why. Is it just a belief or is there a real reason?
A lot of it is tradition, but the practical part is true, avoid stress and heavy work. We moved homes when I was pregnant and just hired help for everything. My doctor only said dont lift heavy and stay rested.
Medically the concern is not the shifting itself but the heavy lifting and stress. We actually shifted in my second pregnancy and it was fine, I just didnt lift anything. Get help and dont overexert, thats the real point.
Beta the elders say it more for rest and avoiding stress than anything else. Shifting means lifting heavy things and tiredness, which is not good for you now. If you must shift, let others do the heavy work and you just relax.
My saasu maa was against shifting during my pregnancy, said its inauspicious. We delayed it a bit to keep peace at home. Honestly as long as you rest and dont strain, its more about beliefs na.
