My nanehaal side of the family really believe in this as there’s been two incidents related to eclipse’s affect on the baby.

First was where a lady carved out those dark things on potatoes with a knife while pregnant… she later gave birth to a baby who had the same “carved out” indent on its cheek.

The second was a lady who had just started using scissors to cut something when her father stopped her… gave birth to a baby who had a very small, clean cut at the top of one of her ear.

But then i know of an Aunty who went on a cutting/ slicing spree during an eclipse while pregnant just to prove that its all a myth… her son was born fine.

Birth defects are caused by chromosomal abnormalities at the time of conception, NOT by the sun, moon or stars

Good lord people, it’s now 2013 :no:

pinks, my daughter has a very small cut at the top of her left ear. As if an ant took a bite. It looks cute though. But my father has it too on his left ear. And so does my neice. So it’s more of a genetic thing.
I think you should start looking in your family who has it too.

I love it when people say, “I don’t believe in it, but just to be safe…”

From this, it sounds like there are lunar eclipses like twice weekly–have I just totally been missing out on this phenomenon. Lol, how did such a (relatively) rare occurrence get such a bad rap?

these incidents happened 3-4 decades ago, so i guess folks back then relied more on passed-down knowledge rather then anything else… i dont know why people today still believe in it though

I always wonder who made this stuff up.

its not that rare, there are at least a couple of eclipses every year. pregnancies last 9 months. there is guaranteed to be at least one eclipse in your pregnancy.

Re: pregnant girls don’t go out on a lunar eclipse

And to those who still believe these things in 2013 please don’t forget the following:

do not pick up girls as you will have a girl (sigh)
don’t walk under a ladder…
avoid walking on cracks on the sidewalk
don’t look at anyone ugly
if a black cat approaches you as you leave for the hospital you best go back inside and give birth at home…simples!
don’t get off your bed for 40 days post baby because the ‘zameen cries’…
…and the list goes on and on and on.
