During Chandra Grahan, pregnant women need to take extra precautions to prevent any unfavorable impacts on themselves and their unborn child. Here are some dos and donts that moms-to-be must keep in mind:

Dos:

• Consult with your doctor before making any decisions related to your pregnancy.
• Stay informed about the lunar eclipse schedule and timings in your region.
• Stay indoors in a well-ventilated room with curtains drawn to block any direct view of the eclipse.
• Keep yourself well-hydrated and avoid engaging in any strenuous activities during this time.
• Take a ritual bath after the eclipse is over to cleanse oneself of any negative influences of the eclipse.
• Chant the name of God, any bhajan, or any mantra to remain stress-free.

Donts:

• Do not go outside during a lunar eclipse.
• Do not watch the eclipse without proper eye protection.
• Avoid physical exertion during the eclipse.
• Do not perform any religious rituals or pujas during the eclipse, as it is considered an inauspicious time.
• Avoid using any form of sharp object during a lunar or solar eclipse.
• Avoid sleeping, especially during the eclipse, as it is supposed to have a bad effect on the unborn childs brain.

It is important to note that while some of these beliefs are not grounded in scientific evidence, they are deeply ingrained in some societies and continue to influence peoples behavior during lunar eclipses.
