Many myths are figment of imagination without any scientific basis but by following the advice of elders we are just making them feel more respected, wanted and happy. It's a way of counting the blessings. There is no harm in following the advice if it makes somebody happy.

There are many myths associated with eclipse during pregnancy. My pregnancy coincided with lunar eclipse. I was told not to have any food or drinks during the period. I was also not allowed to go out and what i find funny is that i was not allowed to hold anything sharp such as knife or needle during that period.
