Can pregnant women attend a wedding?

In China, there is a traditional taboo that pregnant women should not attend weddings, believing that it is not good for both the bride and the pregnant woman.
However, these are all old superstitious beliefs, and nowadays few people pay attention to such things. However, if the newlyweds are concerned about this, the pregnant woman should avoid offending them.

Consequences of a pregnant woman seeing the bride

In some parts of China, there is a belief that pregnant women should not see the bride, as it is considered unlucky.
For example, in the Xiangxi area, pregnant women are called "four-eyed people," and during activities such as construction, long-distance travel for wealth, marriage ceremonies, worshiping deities, and setting up rituals for exorcism, they must avoid being present. It is believed that pregnant women are "impure" and can disrupt wealth and pollute deities.
Additionally, pregnant women should not sit on the wedding bed, as it may lead to the couple only having their first child 3-5 years after marriage. There is also a belief that sitting on the wedding bed is harmful to both the pregnant woman and the baby, potentially causing premature birth or miscarriage, so it should be avoided at all costs.

Feng Shui Tips for Pregnant Women

First, pregnant women should not live near slaughterhouses or cemeteries, as these places have too much negative energy, which can seriously affect the child's spiritual development.
Second, pregnant women should not live in houses with poor lighting, dark areas, or buildings that block sunlight, as these can create a sense of oppression, leading to depression during pregnancy, which can negatively affect the child's health development.
Third, pregnant women should not live in basements, corridor-style buildings, tower blocks, or rooms without windows and air circulation. These places have poor ventilation, bad odors, polluted air, and are damp and dark, making it easy for bacteria to grow, which can negatively impact the health of the mother and child.
Fourth, pregnant women should not live in newly renovated homes, as hidden formaldehyde gases can adversely affect the fetus, potentially causing developmental abnormalities and even miscarriage.
Fifth, pregnant women should not live in houses with too many flowers, as although flowers are beautiful, they can have adverse effects on people, especially pregnant women, who may be allergic to pollen. This can be harmful to the mother, and in severe cases, it can also harm the fetus.
Sixth, pregnant women should not live in noisy environments, and it is also not advisable to renovate or make changes at home during pregnancy, as construction, demolition, and renovation can generate negative energy, which can affect the fetus's vitality.
