You going will definitely be a distraction. MIL will have to deal. Make your hubs talk to her if she makes a stink about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147057 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:57:19 +0000 MamaMoose 147057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to a funeral tomorrow. But I'm not showing so I won't make anyone else uncomfortable. And I don't come from a culture where this is bad luck so it doesn't upset me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147055 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:56:54 +0000 banana 147055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I don't like funerals either. I don't know. I guess I won't go. I hope my MIL doesn't get upset about that. But I just don't really feel comfortable going. I mean, people will probably feel obligated to "congratulate" me but they would feel too awkward since it's a funeral. It's just a weird situation. I dont' think I'm gonna go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147051 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:55:18 +0000 chopsuey 147051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Yikes. Tough one..<br /> Let the moms duke it out? :P What does your DH think? Ugh. I don't like funerals so I wouldn't go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147046 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:53:36 +0000 banana 147046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: My mom says no cause she thinks it's "bad luck". But my MIL really wants me to go. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147045 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:53:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 147045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never thought about or heard about attending a funeral while pregnant! I would agree with chopsuey and ask your mom what she thinks is appropriate and just go with that, unless you very strongly wanted to go (or didn't want to go). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147042 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:52:23 +0000 chopsuey 147042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask your mom and see what she says! If she says no, then don't go! Koreans will understand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attend-a-funeral-while-pregnant#post-147039 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:51:35 +0000 banana 147039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's uncle just passed away recently and his funeral is next week. Would it be weird/odd/awkward/inappropriate to attend his funeral while being 26 weeks pregnant? I've heard everything from "It's bad luck from pregnant women to attend funerals" to "You shouldn't go cause you're carrying life while everyone will be mourning death."</p> <p>I don't know what to do! What should I do? </p>
