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.
