Do’s and don’t during pregnancy

A pregnant wife should drink jamu every week and tajin water everyday

A pregnant wife not allowed eating fish with “moustache”, eggs, chicken.

A pregnant wife and her husband are not allowed to (and if it happened accidentally, he/she should say “amit-amit jabang bayi” or “nuwun sewu jabang bayi” means to apologize or hope that the baby is safe and healthy): leave a spoon in a salt box, hurt or kill animal, sit on lesung

Glossary:
Lesung = a mortar that used to mashed the rice
Tajin = water from washed rice
