Dr Appmnt

He said ultrasound was fine.. d baby is developing really well to date.. n d heartbeat is fast.. 184 beats/min.. n he said ther is no bleeding in d uterus fr tm being.. however my placenta is kinda low so probably its d reason i spotted...

Before Eclipse:

1. Wash clothes used for puja and others, your house, temple should be cleaned.
   
2. Bed, Blankets, etc. are to be dusted or exposed to sunlight.
   
3. Food made by mixing flour and water should not be eaten, do not keep drinking water in a pot.
   
4. After Eclipse is over, do not touch clothes before taking bath. So, before eclipse begins, put aside clothes/towel etc. to be used after your bath.
   
5. Prepare the place for worship during eclipse, do not use cotton sheets to sit on, such sheets should be dusted and put away.
   
6. Do not eat during eclipse and vedh (9 hours before Lunar eclipse starts and 12 hours before Solar eclipse starts).
   
7. Put aside other activities and plan to spend time doing Dhun/Kirtan.

During Eclipse:

1. Spend your time doing Dhun/Kirtan, reading/listening scriptures etc.
   
2. Pray to god to protect us from the vices like lust, and anger.

After Eclipse:

1. Take bath/shower with all clothes and then only touch/wear clean clothes.
   
2. Grihasth (Householders) should donate for good causes, Tyagi (Saints) should do puja of God.
   
3. Prepare food for God, offer Him food and take the prasad.
   
4. After taking bath/shower only, one should touch God or do the normal activities.
   

It is desirable to have a temple or an organization arrange Dhun/Kirtan program during the eclipse.

AND this...taken from astropeep.com....

Pregnant women are most delicate people to look after at the time of Surya or Chandra Grahan. Pregnant women should take some precautions to avoid bad effects of Surya Grahana or Chandra Grahana.

• The first and foremost precaution that every pregnant woman has to take is to avoid seeing or looking at the Grahana. Even though, it is visible to naked eye, pregnant women should avoid watching grahana.
• Stay at home and do not go out side during the grahana.
• There is a strong belief in some Hindus that wearing or tightening saree clips, hair clips or any other pins or clips will be inauspicious. Avoid wearing or tightening clips.
• Avoid cutting vegetables or fruits or any other material.
• In some regions, pregnant women avoid sleeping during the Grahana.
• For normal and safe delivery, pregnant women recite Santana Gopala data Mantram and Surya Stotras like Aditya Hridayam and other Surya Mantras, Maha Mritunjaya Stotram.
• Santana Gopala Stotra (a mantra to chant during graham by pregnant women) keeps up the health of the pregnant woman as well as the child (Garbhastha Shishu).

Grass blades (Durva or Garika or Darbha) are kept on stored water and food during the time Grahan. It is not a blind ritual. Its proven scientifically that Grass blades purify the water more than Tulsi (Ocimum) leaves can during Grahanam. Grass blades have immediate purifying power. This is the main reason why grass blades are kept on stored water and food like pickles.

Tulsi (ocimum Basilicum) is treated as the abode of Vishnu- Lakshmi(husband and wife) and as Rahu and Ketu were decapitated by Lord Vishnu, placing Tulsi on eatables protects food from the malefic effects of the radiation caused during the eclipse.
