Superstition: pregnant women should avoid an eclipse 🚫☀️

Marissa 🌺

So I had never heard of pregnant women having to avoid an eclipse! My mother in law text me last night to wear red underwear and wear a safety pin to protect my baby. The eclipse will be on the 21st of this month so to ease her mind I told her I would stay home instead of going to work.

Anyone else heard of this? Or is it a Hispanic thing? (I'm half Hispanic but have never heard of it)
