The pregnancy lasting ten months is a magical journey, during which all aspects of life will affect the fetus and you should pay attention to every aspect in diet and life. Also, there are some Feng Shui tips for you pregnant women. For example, don’t use scissor or needle on the bed, or your baby will be marred by a scar. What are other precautions during pregnancy?
Do Not Move House or Large Furniture during Pregnancy
This Feng Shui taboo is related to the Fetal God. Legend goes that if you pregnant move your house, the Fetal God will be affected; the God changes position every month but dislikes to have the position changed artificially. For instance, the fetus can move freely in the womb but its normal development will be affected if you massage or move it artificially.
Moving house requires labor and toil with both mind and body. For you pregnant, you will be more prone to accidents. Also, whether the Feng Shui of your new house is beneficial for you and your baby is unknown if you got pregnant in the old house. Therefore, you’d better not move your house during pregnancy. If you do need to move, you’d better choose an auspicious day according to your birthday and avoid the days which are in clash or inauspicious for your animal sign, or the days unsuitable for house moving. In addition, you pregnant woman should not participate in or witness the moving process; or you can buy a new broom, tie a strip of red cloth to the position where the head and handle intersect, and clean the new house with it.
Do not move the luggage, table and chair, cabinet, bed and other large furniture in your room at random, or it may affect the Fetal God and lead to miscarriage, habitual abortion or facial defect of baby.
Do Not Decorate Home
In western countries, people usually start to finish the baby room after pregnancy for the coming baby to sleep in. In Chinese culture, however, no decoration, groundbreaking or kitchen upgrade shall be made during pregnancy because home decoration may hurt the baby, and any sawing, drilling and tapping shall be avoided. In addition, the Qi field, sound and light of the environment will change after the decoration, making your baby cannot adapt or causing other negative effects.
Do Not Drive Nail at Random
You pregnant should not drive nail on the door, wall or bedside. If you drive nail on the door, you may scare away the Door God and the door will lose the function of blocking evil spirits from getting into your room, which will affect your health. If you drive nail on the bedside, you will have poor sleep and suffer from palpitation or other discomforts.
Do Not Touch Edge Tools
You pregnant should avoid touching kitchen knife and other edge tools which may affect the Fetal God incidentally, or make you get scared and lead to abortion.
