Taboos when there is a pregnant woman at home

In a family, pregnant women can be said to be the most important in the family, commonly known as the national treasure of the family. For families with pregnant women, in addition to a reasonable and correct diet, keeping the floor clean and free of moisture, and home safety issues, there are also some taboos left by the elderly. Today, the editor has also sorted out a few points. I hope that in addition to taking measures to put safety first at home, we should also avoid the following things. After all, the baby comes first, and the mother comes first too.

1. During pregnancy, you should not dismantle or renovate the room where you live, nor should you move.

This Feng Shui taboo is mainly related to disturbing the fetus spirit. According to legend, if you start construction in the house where a pregnant woman lives, you will disturb the fetal spirit. The fetal spirit can change its position according to the lunar calendar, but it is taboo for the fetal spirit to be moved artificially. It is like a fetus can move in the mother's womb, but artificial massage and movement may affect the normal development of the fetus.

Moving is bound to be laborious and this will increase the chances of accidents for pregnant women. Moreover, if a pregnant woman gets pregnant in her old house, it is unknown whether the feng shui of the new house is suitable for the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Therefore, it is best not to move during pregnancy.

2. Avoid moving large furniture during pregnancy

This custom is also related to the fetal god. According to legend, randomly moving large furniture such as boxes, tables, chairs, cabinets, beds and stools in the room may affect the fetus god and cause miscarriage, premature ejaculation, or the birth of a baby with incomplete facial features.

3. Pregnant women should avoid eating rabbit meat to prevent their babies from having cleft lip.

This saying is widely spread and is practiced almost everywhere in the country; it has been around for a long time. It is recorded that in Zhang Hua's "Bowuzhi" in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was already a saying that "Pregnant women should not eat rabbit meat, nor should they see rabbits, as this will cause their children to have cleft lips."

4. Pregnant women should avoid sewing or using scissors

This custom is popular in some local areas. People believe that using scissors will cut things, and using needles, thread, awls, etc. will pierce clothes. If the fetal god is present at the time, it may hurt it. Once the fetal god is hurt, a child will be born with defects such as no ears, missing ears, or blindness.

In many places, pregnant women are required to participate in sewing baby clothes to cultivate the mother's love for the baby.

5. Pregnant women should not attend wedding banquets or funerals

In some places, customs hold that during pregnancy, pregnant women should not attend weddings, let alone greet the wedding car, so as not to frighten the fetus; they should also not eat at wedding banquets or wedding cakes and candies, so as not to endanger the mother and child with "adding joy to joy".

In many areas, there is a taboo against pregnant women watching funerals, saying that they will be affected by the unlucky aura of the funeral and that they must prevent such clashes.

6. Avoid hammering nails in a pregnant woman’s room

According to folk customs, hammering nails into the walls, furniture, doors and windows of a pregnant woman's room will hurt the fetal spirit, affect the normal development of the fetus, and even result in "feticide."

7. Avoid hanging ugly, ferocious figures or animal portraits in a pregnant woman’s room

According to the old custom, looking at the images in paintings too often will make the fetus in a pregnant woman's belly look like the person in the painting, commonly known as "changing the fetus." Therefore, if you choose to hang portraits, make sure you hang portraits of beautiful and cute children. Avoid hanging ugly, ferocious portraits of people or animals.

8. Pregnant women should not sit facing the company door

If it cannot be avoided, you can place potted plants or landscape plants in front of the screen next to the table or on the table to avoid the evil energy coming from the front door.

9. Don’t pat pregnant women’s shoulders

According to folklore, people have three fires, the biggest one is on the head, and the two smaller ones are on the shoulders; if a person is suddenly patted on the shoulder, he will indeed be startled and his spirit will be unstable. If the pregnant woman herself is weak, she may not be able to take care of the fetus, which may cause bleeding at the very least and miscarriage at the worst. Therefore, people should be careful about their attitude towards pregnant women and avoid making stimulating or large movements.

10. Avoid the bad energy in the kitchen, as the toilet is prone to accumulate foul air.

If it is not necessary, pregnant women should try not to go to the kitchen to get knives or sharp objects. In addition to the possibility of inadvertently touching the fetus, if it is accidentally bumped into or frightened, it is easy to disturb the fetus and may cause miscarriage. As for whether the toilet has foul air, it actually depends on personal hygiene habits. Frequently cleaning clothes, keeping ventilation, and not piling soap and sundries on the floor can prevent pregnant women from slipping.
