I have heard that before as well. Once my cousin said she looks at pictures of good looking people so that her child will be good looking - LOL! Another one that I heard, which people have given me examples of, is when a women does something to her body during a solar eclipse (and she is pregnant) that thing will happen to her baby - confusing, I know! Let me explain:

My popoh was pregnant during a solar eclipse. She stood on the roof of the house in front of the eclipse and placed her thumb pad on the back of her right shoulder. When my cousin was born, he had a birth mark shaped like a thumb pad (fingerprint) on the back of his right shoulder. This is actually true!

Another one I heard, but kind of doubtful about was a women in our village was pregnant during a solar eclipse and fell asleep outside. She and her husband both apparently were very fair. When her child was born, the child was very dark.

Heard the same thing!! An aunty told my sil to put red lipstick and kajal/kohl in her eyes during eclips… So when her daughter was born it really looked like she had kohl in her eyes and the lips of the baby were sooo cherry red mashallah

N indeed mum also said not to u use needles or sharp things during eclips not sure how true it is… But by seein the baby girl i am convinced
