cousins funeral

[cliqueguy1992]

So my cousin passed away last Monday in a really bad car accident and his funeral is tomorrow he's leaving behind his daughter who's not even 1 yet which is so sad because she's missing out on a great father and his twin brother has a daughter too it's just upsetting. My mom said I shouldn't go because I'm pregnant and she said if I go I will attend my own child's funeral....Idk why she says stuff like that it's upsetting that was my cousin and I want to show support but Idk it's just things she says sticks to me.

I think u should go I think its only an old myth I've heard pregnancy women can go to funerals they just shouldn't get close to body because it brings evil spirits. They're just sayings I dont believe in them I wish u all the best with the lost of a loved one

[Coralk]

You and your family are in my prayers...I'm sorry for your loss

[cef1990]

I think it's just another silly reason to make mum's to be worried!  I have no idea why anyone would believe that this superstition is real, I've been to 2 funerals whilst pregnant! And to the people who are saying it's bad to see dead body's while pregnant, what about nurses etc who deal with that every day at work?? Surely the loss of a loved one is sad whether you go to the funeral or not?

Since it was a car accident I think it's a closed casket but I'm going. I have to go

Ypu should absolutely attend if that's what you want to do, My Pa passed away when I was 27 weeks pregnant I'm now only 34 weeks and there is noway i couldn't go even though many told me not to as being pregnant you do get more emotional but I wanted to say goodbye and I even went to his viewing which everyone was against I'm so glad I did though because he looked healthy and peaceful a great last memory/image for me. He was only 3 months shy of meeting his 2nd Great grandchild but now he is able to watch over us and protect us more than what he could in last stages of life so for that I'm greatful... Hang in there if you want to go then go you'll regret it if you don't.

If you start to feel overwhelmed with grief take a break or leave. I just wouldn't not go. God's plan is God's plan & whatever he has planned for your baby will happen if you go to a funeral or not.

[prettygorJESS]

Go. You will seriously regret not going. Your baby will be fine

I know how you feel and I'm sending my love, my father passed away on the weekend and I found him, I have to arrange the funeral and despite trying to keep it together for my unborn baby I think it's an important part of grieving, go to the funeral and say goodbye or you'll regret it later. It's the worse feeling in the world, lots of love to you and bump :( xxxx

I went to a funeral a couple weeks ago and everything is fine so far everyone has different superstitions that doesnt mean theyre all true.

[AmKeel]

I've always been told it is never good to see a dead body while pregnant. So if you want to go to one I'd choose the funeral rather then the viewing. But that's just what my family believes.

[cliqueguy1992]

I'm only 14 weeks but I always pray my baby knows and I wouldn't do anything to put my baby in danger I'm just saying goodbye to a old friend/cousin as I should I might not cry but I might but thank you!!! My great grandma is native American her hair went all the way down her back I never met her but the pictures of her she was beautiful!! Perfect skin like I have lol

i say u go blood is blood u wont get that chance again

[cliqueguy1992]

I mean when my sister and cousin was pregnant my grandfather passed away and they attended and they are about to be 9 it's just the singing that makes me emotional but I will def try to keep my cool I don't like ppl seeing me cry. But he is my cousin I need to go

[Melissa_25]

I went to my grandmother's funeral just after thanksgiving. I think if you want to go then you should go. Everyone needs to say goodbye

[zaydensmommy79]

My grandmother's brother died when she was 28 weeks pregnant with my mom,  and she was told not to go to the funeral but she went anyway. The stress caused her to go into labor a week later

[BiancaCarlisle]

Im native American and my cousin was found dead and my son was just born the same time, i still did not attend the funeral because i just had my son and they feel everything. Its not good to go listen to your mom. You may feel bad but ita not just about you anymore, you have a baby inside of you that is still,in the spiritual world. As native american we also believe that you should not go to a funeral or anything like that. Just dont go!

[cliqueguy1992]

I'm still debating like it's just so sad that it happened so quick. I might just go to the viewing and leave since the funeral is a block away but I might not go since I'm very hormonal and I will cry like really hard so maybe I should stay home. All I know that when he passed I had a dream that same night I gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek it's just sad.

[AmKeel]

They say its best not to go to funerals while pregnant because the baby can feel everyone's sadness and could cause a still born. My sister was pregnant when my nephew passed away and she didn't go. I am now 34 weeks and I've had to passing happen one's funeral was actually today and I did not attend eathier it's hard but I did not want to take Any chances. Just let everyone know why you arent going to be there if you choose not to go they should understand.

[may1stbaby]

Why would your mom say that? I know people that have attended funerals and nothing happpens i dont think there is anything wrong with you going im sure your baby will be ok the only bad thing is like if you get too upset and cry alot then it can be bad but if you know you can control yourself then go you might regret not going if you dont.. My friend lost her dad and she was 8 months pregnant she was with her dad since the moment he past until they burried him and her baby is ok i understand is your mom but i think you are old enough to make your own decisions and when someone dies is not like youll get another chance to see him and say good bye..

[rebeccaann11]

You should go. I'm sure you will br very upset. But if it was my family I wouldn't want to miss that.
I'm sorry to hear about your cousins passing :(
