Pregnancy is the birth of a new life. And the cemetery is the end of the path of life. These concepts are so opposite that there was a widespread opinion - pregnant women should not go to the cemetery. Indeed, is it possible and necessary for a woman who bears a new life to visit a place where other people, in fact, left their own? To answer the question “Why?”, You need to understand the causes of this opinion and its various interpretations.
The church says that it’s possible and necessary for all people to visit cemeteries and burials, even pregnant women. It is believed that people who do not forget their near and dear ones receive a blessing from God. However, of course, this should be done only if there is a desire. Pregnant women are not recommended to go to the cemetery if they are not feeling quite well. Especially if it is an early pregnancy. But the church has no specific prohibitions on this score.
Perhaps the view that pregnant women are not allowed to visit the cemetery is a simple superstition. However, one should not forget that during the funeral the woman experiences a lot of negative emotions and intense stress, which can affect not only her health, but also the baby’s health. Any stress during pregnancy is the cause of possible future ailments and diseases. This is one of the reasons why pregnant women should not visit cemeteries. Of course, if a woman has a need to go to the funeral of a loved one, and she is ready to restrain her emotions, this is not prohibited.
The second reason pregnant women are not recommended to attend the cemetery and funeral is the well-established superstition associated with the existence of a human aura. She disappears not immediately after his death, but only after a while. It is believed that until their disappearance, these auras are in cemeteries in the form of ethereal formations that are capable of exerting influence on living objects, which is not always positive. The most susceptible to this influence are children, especially not born. Therefore, pregnant women, especially those who believe in magic and otherworldly life, should beware of visits to burial places or funeral visits. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that, during pregnancy, women greatly increase their suspiciousness, as a result of which they themselves can set themselves up in a negative way.
