Expert Talks: Why Are Pregnant Women Not Allowed To Go Near Rivers

There are many beliefs that a pregnant woman has to follow in the Hindu religion to keep her future life and the health of her unborn baby good.

One of these rules is that if you are pregnant, you are prohibited from going near the rivers according to Hindu beliefs. Apparently, this is to ensure the safety of both mother and child. 

Let us know from Astrologer Siddharth S Kumar why it is said so and whether doing so can actually cause harm.

According to astrology, why is it prohibited to go near the river during pregnancy?

Going near a river can deepen this relationship and cause emotional instability, which is why going near a river is prohibited during this period. Apart from this, being in contact with water during pregnancy can cause many problems, like harmful infections.

Negative energy may reside in rivers

It is believed that many types of processes take place inside the rivers, such as people sometimes immersing the ashes of the deceased at this place and sometimes after death, instead of cremation, the body is floated in the rivers. 

By doing this any negative energy (Signs Of Negative Energy) can remain around the rivers. For this reason, a pregnant woman is prohibited from going to that place, so that negative energy doesn’t enter her body or mind and its negative impact cannot reach the baby in the womb. 

Danger due to flow of rivers 

Rivers flow very fast and their flow can pose a danger to people living nearby. For this reason, if you go to such a place during pregnancy, the flow of rivers and the sounds around them can also affect you. So, it is considered advisable not to go near rivers during pregnancy.
