Despite the fact that in the courtyard of the XXI century and the surrounding society is considered educated, many still believe in omens. Women in an interesting position acquire a special, strongest faith. You can often hear that pregnant women should not go to the cemetery. But why not everyone will answer.
Why pregnant women shouldn't go to the cemetery from a philosophical point of view
Science philosophy has two opinions on this matter. On the one hand, pregnancy is a new life, a birth. And the cemetery is always symbolized with death, that is, the end of existence. And if a pregnant woman goes to the cemetery, then there is a certain resonance, or rather, the opposition of two opposites. On the other hand, everything in life is cyclical. Likewise, human life has its own cycle, beginning with birth and ending with death. And then the cycle repeats again. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with a pregnant woman visiting the cemetery.
In any case, if a woman in a position has at least some doubts about whether or not to go to the cemetery, then it is better not to go. But if there is an irresistible desire to visit the grave of a loved one, then why not go.
The opinion of psychologists on whether pregnant women can go to the cemetery
Psychologists and doctors of other specialties do not prohibit pregnant women from going to the cemetery. The only objective reason not to visit a cemetery is stress. Care should be taken when deciding to visit deceased loved ones of pregnant women with difficult pregnancies. Any nervous tension in such a woman can cause a threat of pregnancy and even a miscarriage. Pregnancy is a period in which a woman should receive maximum positive emotions, and relatives should protect the pregnant woman from negativity and worries.
Also, doctors strongly advise against visiting the cemetery for pregnant women who have recently experienced loss. Even if now it seems to them that the pain of loss has subsided, then the cemetery can evoke unpleasant and bitter emotions, which ultimately cause a stressful state of the body.
In no case should a pregnant woman be forced to go to the cemetery. Moreover, to reproach. Even if grief happened and a loved one died, pregnancy is a good excuse not to come to the funeral.
Church opinion on whether a pregnant woman can go to a cemetery
The clergy argue that all the superstitions that a pregnant woman should not go to the cemetery are nothing more than prejudices. Nowhere in the Bible can one read a word that pregnant women should not go to the cemetery. Moreover, the Holy Book says that it is the duty of relatives and friends to see the deceased on their last journey. Moreover, Christianity teaches that death is a dream; you should not be afraid of it. And when the hour comes, there will be a resurrection.
A visit to the cemetery is a kind of soul need. There is no obligation to go to the graves of loved ones. This is especially true for pregnant women.
There is also an opinion that the cemetery is a place where dark forces live that can harm any person. And a pregnant woman in such a place will be the most vulnerable. But the church believes that this is all prejudice. Even if there are some dark forces, then first of all they will affect people who are sinful, dependent and spiritually decaying. And if a pregnant woman goes to the cemetery, this means that faith is alive in her and nothing threatens her.
If a pregnant woman considers herself an atheist, then all the more there is no danger in the cemetery for her. After all, she should not believe in something that does not lend itself to logical explanation.
