i think that's an old superstitious belief practiced by old people not yet reached by civilization, even earthquake, pregnant women are bathed in water with vinegar. for me, there's nothing wrong with this phenomenon because the earth revolves and has to pass with sun and moon wheher we like it or not. the practice has a psychological effect on one person. it affects the mind set of the person and will keep on thinking of what will happen after the eclipse.

I have heard this as well but i don't have any idea about it.But it is fact that some persons do get affected by eclipse.specially pregnant women.They should be indoors & at rest.I had one freind of mine who had premature delivery on the day of Eclipse with not so healthy baby.So it i better to take care.

yes..so why take a chance.. when someone says or gives some advice better take it rather than repent one's whole life... - thanx
