Today i.e. on September 7, a lunar eclipse is taking place, this is the second and last lunar eclipse of the year. It will be fully visible in India at 9:58 pm to 1:26 pm in India. There are many beliefs about lunar eclipse and solar eclipse in Indian culture and traditions. Especially pregnant women are advised not to get out of the house, do not use sharp clothes or sharp things and abstain from eating and drinking. But the question is whether the lunar eclipse really affects the pregnant woman or the child growing in her womb? Let’s know the opinion of the expert.
What is said in traditions?
According to Indian astrology and old beliefs, negative energy increases in the atmosphere at the time of eclipse. This is the reason why a pregnant woman is forbidden to go out or do any new work. It is believed that doing so can have a bad effect on the baby, such as a child can be born with a disabled or any physical problem. However, these things are mostly related to religious beliefs.
What the doctor says
Dr. Sakshi Nair, a senior gynecologist and associate consultant of Sir Gangaram Hospital, shared his opinion in a conversation with the media. He said that if seen from a scientific perspective, the eclipse does not have any special effect on women. Regardless of any kind of eclipse, it affects women, it is only a myth and nothing more than this. Science has clearly stated that women do not suffer any kind of damage due to eclipse. Such things are only rumors and superstitions. It is not at all that if a pregnant woman comes out at the time of eclipse, it will affect her child. Yes, it is so important that the common people who have common problems during the eclipse can also have the same problem to pregnant women, but it does not have any effect on their fetus.
Effect on healthYes, if a pregnant woman stays without eating and eating for a long time at the time of eclipse, then it can definitely affect her health and indirectly on the health of the child. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor before fasting.
Expert advice
- A pregnant woman should rest at the time of eclipse so that mental stress does not increase.
- Avoid staying hungry and keep taking a light healthy diet.
- If you want to follow the traditions, then do it only for mental peace and faith, do not consider it as a scientific truth.
- In case of any kind of trouble or health problem, consult a doctor immediately.
The lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon, which does not have any direct scientific effect on the health of a pregnant woman or baby. Most of the things are based on traditions and beliefs. If you follow these beliefs, then it is a matter of your faith, but health decisions should always be taken by taking the opinion of the doctor.
