godh bharai for second pregnancy?? - Page 3

I am a Marwari and yes "Godh Bharai" is done only in first pregnancy...I guess the reason being that it is a celebration that the woman is entering into motherhood. for second pregnancy, she is already a mother and hence the Godh (lap) is not empty and hence no special celebrations reqd...My guess...is godh braai or not a barometer to judge a child's importance (like many posts seem to suggest)

Second reason I could fathom is in our old generations (I mean our grandmom's generation) having 10-12 kids was also common...so imagine having a godh bharai function every second year and managing/organizing that with ur army of kids...and at times even after 1-2 of ur elder kids had been married...I mean so logical to say...ek baar bahut hai...:)

Agree with TM . In our culture it is only done in first pregnancy not in second , third or the rest of the pregnancies . It is made fuss of as the pregnancy is new and a first time experience for the woman .
