What pregnant women cannot do during Qingming Festival

Avoid visiting graves

Generally speaking, pregnant women should avoid tomb-sweeping activities during the Qingming Festival, and this is not just due to the influence of the heavy yin energy. In fact, long-distance travel is not good for both women and fetuses. In addition, the Qingming Festival is very crowded. For the safety of the fetus, pregnant women are not recommended to participate. Moreover, the weather and surrounding environment for tomb sweeping are not good for the health of pregnant women.

Stay away from dark places

Pregnant women should pay more attention around the Qingming Festival and stay away from places with heavy yin energy to avoid adverse effects on you and the baby in your belly. If you cannot avoid places with heavy negative energy, it is recommended that you carry a talisman with you. Because according to folk customs, Qingming Festival is also called Ghost Festival. Pregnant women have relatively bad luck during pregnancy and are easily haunted or harassed by evil spirits.

Can't go out at night

The yin energy is heavy, especially in the late evening after the sunlight fades, which is the time when supernatural beings are active.

It is recommended that pregnant women wear plain clothes and wear plain clothing.
