As far as superstitions go, why should a pregnant woman NOT attend a funeral?

Answer 1

According to Chinese superstition, funerals and graveyards are like, the 'dirtiest' places ever, if you know what i mean. Dirty in the sense that there are spirits wandering about, unseen by the human eye. Pregnant women are sensitive and vulnerable, and chances are high that they may get possessed, or that a spirit would follow you home, knowing that you are carrying a child and demanding your love and attention, epecially spirits of young children.
P/s: No kidding!! If you're a Chinese like me, go ask your grandmother!!!

Answer 2

I've never heard of a superstition regarding a pregnant woman attending a funeral. Even if there was such a superstition, the woman should attend out of respect for the deceased.

Answer 3

I don't know about superstition, but I would not want a pregnant woman to go to a funeral because of stress, the less stress to yourself while pregnant the healthier your baby will be. That is why you should never get a tattoo when pregnant or why a dentist will not pull a tooth.

Good luck with your question

Answer 4

For those who believe in reincarnation, the spirit of the dead may enter your unborn child. Who would want to give birth to a child the acted like old Uncle Bob or was super mean like Granny Jo?

Answer 5

I though it was because you had a good excuse not to go to a terrible event. Like a Free Ride.

Answer 6

It was thought to be a bad luck thing. Things wouldn't go well for the baby.
