Is eclipse have a effect on unborn baby?

Hi,I just wanna know is lunar or solar eclipse have any impact on pregnant women or her baby? I'm a Indian n ftm,  here people follow rituals like lying on bed straight by putting hands, legs n body straight from starting of eclipse till it's end otherwise child will have some sort of disability. Women should not do any sort of work Just she should rest on bed in above posture.
I wanna know is it effect baby? Is this tradition follow anywhere else apart from india?

I come from a family that has the tradition to put on a safety pin every single time there's any kind of Eclipse, I personally have never done it lol I don't think it affects the baby.

Each cloture is different. Im mexican and we too believe in the red ribbon except that I believe that God has control of every thing including my little bundle of joy so no red ribbon for me :) and yes if it were bad every country would have the same thought on eclipses

I have 4 kids and never took heed 2any kind of superstition, and they were all born completely healthy. They have never had any serious issues of any kind. I believe in GOD, and that is all I need!

It is absolutely not true!! This is my third pregnancy and iv never done anything like that and my kids are perfectly fine and healthy.I believe and trust in god especially to protect my kids not in a eclipse. And seriously anyone who believes in these "rituals" it's a little silly. Just sayin

Ur right, 1 can only understand their traditions very well. But I thought pregnancy is universal so I wonder if eclipse effects Indian so it may effect d world women. They should also take precautions? Just a doubt which I wanna clear. 2day v had eclipse 4 3 and a half hour n my back really got numb by lying 4 hours.

I'm not sure if they are followed anywhere else but it sounds like it's an important part of your culture.  :)  In my culture (Native American) we're doing a lot of rituals that coincide with the shifting of earth 's axis recently. Nobody can tell you if your traditions are right or wrong and nobody understands them like you do.
