1 Keep Your Pregnancy A Secret Till You Cross Your Third Month
The day a woman discovers she’s pregnant, she is advised by close family members—usually female and elderly, to keep it a closely guarded secret. Reason—revealing the happy news before completing the first trimester can invite the ‘evil eye’ and result in a miscarriage. Here the poor new-to-be mother is bursting to announce the good news to all and sundry, but instead she has to wait a full three months before her world knows.
There is rationale behind this—the first trimester is considered a ‘risky’ period, as there are more chances of miscarriage. But the evil eye et al is to be ignored completely. The first trimester is usually the time when most women experience nausea and other unpleasant factors of pregnancy, so imagine being in office and running to the rest room every five minutes! You will either be ticked off for goofing or the women in the office will definitely catch on. Better you tell them and revel in the pampering from your colleagues as well! And remember, well wishers will only be happy for you.
