Can women go to temple during pregnancy?

There are some special rules for women in worship. For example, they are not allowed to do religious activities during menstruation. But is there any restriction on a pregnant woman going to the temple or doing worship? Let's find out.

Is it right or wrong to go to temple during pregnancy?

 

 

1/6

Pregnancy is a very important time for a woman. There is no restriction on visiting a temple or performing puja during this time, but if a pregnant woman has any health problem, she should avoid going to the temple.

 

2/6

Many times a pregnant woman is not allowed to go to a temple after 7 months. The reason for this is that one has to climb stairs to reach the temple and some temples are located on the top of a hill, which can affect the baby growing in the womb.

 

3/6

If the health condition of the pregnant woman is good, then there is no restriction on visiting the temple for 5-7 months. But do not worship in a difficult way by sitting or standing for too long in the temple and do not even do parikrama. Do not do any such activity which causes physical stress.

 

4/6

Thus, religiously, there is no restriction on a pregnant woman going to a temple. But a pregnant woman should take care of her physical condition and the convenience of the journey.

 

5/6

If a pregnant woman goes to the temple, she should not fast for too long. Instead, keep drinking water from time to time. Staying hungry and thirsty for a long time can be harmful for you and the baby growing in the womb.

 

6/6

Going to the temple during pregnancy gives mental peace and stability. But you should decide to go to the temple only after considering your health condition and consulting a doctor. If you are unable to go to the temple for some reason, you can also do simple puja at home or recite the Bhagavad Gita.
