I'm currently 23wks pregnant. Was invited to cousin's bb full month celebration.Wanted to go very much but heard that according to Chinese custom...best not to go as may not be good for me/bb. Is there such a thing or custom or "clashes" stuff? Will it really be bad for my bb?Felt it's superstitious but just want good for my bb at the end. Any comments?

Ha... In India, many people believe that custom. We also follow this. The reason is, if pregnant & new mom are together at same place then its difficult to takecare both for others at a time. Both r dependents & cannot do their works of their own. So Our elders kept that as custom. Nothing will happen to u or ur baby in womb. Just takecare & carry the things with u that u need. Ask ur family members to accompany u for help. One more reason for that custom is, new moms & pregnant both look different. Mood swings, physiological changes etc.. One may get scared by seeing the other.
