Is there any effects of an eclipse to a pregnant woman?

Some were excited to witness an eclipse but some were afraid.

Last January 26, an annular solar eclipse – the first of the six eclipse events this year – was observed in the country. I was informed by my co – teacher that there will be an eclipse at 4:00 p.m. She wasn’t sure if it was true. If it is true she advised me hid in a dark place for she believes that there is an effect to the pregnant woman. Based on what she observed, others may have difficulty in her delivery; others may have a baby with defects. I told her abruptly that whether it is true or not, I must believe on what you said. I called my husband to check if there is an eclipse. After he reads the news at the internet, he confirmed that there will be an eclipse at 4:00p.m and another will be on February and July. So I hide before the said time.

Perhaps I could say there is an effect of an eclipse because as of February, one of my cousins who gave birth in caesarean section; the daughter in- law of my co – worker also experience the same way of giving birth.

On the other hand, last February 9, another eclipse begins when the Moon enters penumbra at 8:36 p.m. and ends the following morning at 12:39 a.m. I and my husband heard this over the radio as we rode on a taxi. I was afraid that we might be caught by the traffic and I will be hit by an eclipse. Fortunately, we able to make it, we arrived in our home 45 – minutes before 8:00 p.m. I just stayed inside our house. Out of curiosity, my husband went out and took some pictures of the moon. However, due to its cloudy atmosphere, he wasn’t able to capture even one.

As I wrote this, I am upset with the effect of this eclipse to my pregnancy. Imagine, there are four more eclipses that will hit in our country. The next lunar eclipse is my expected due date. I just hope, that God will save me this day.
