Hello. I don't have a PHD or and special license that allows me to say this to you.  I am aware that some women get mixed emotions during pregnancy, some are prone to severe depression which can alter your eating habits along with other symptoms.  I would want you and the baby to be safe! if you feel that it would be too much for you, I recommend that you skip the service.

I went to my grandads funeral last week .. Its old wife tales .. They say if u go into the graveyard the baby will be born with one foot in the grave and something about the dead body won't rest or something when there's a new life coming into the world

My sister saw our brother drown to death while she was a few months pregnant and and she went to his funeral and her baby came out perfectly healthy. So if its because of sadness that superstition is stupi@ cause we were devastated not just sad.

I've been to two funerals while pregnant, both before I was 10 weeks, there honestly isn't anything to worry about.

They said it can cause stillborn because the baby can feel the sadness around them. I just want to be safe.
