Generally speaking it is not specifically "Bad Luck," however, it is considered "pushing your luck" to give an expectant mother a Mother's Day gift.

The old traditions thought bring attention to a pregnant woman wasn't good. They even sequestered women (called a laying in) during the last month, or so, of her term.

Part of this was because pregnancy, labour, delivery and the first month of a baby's life were dangerous times, not so much due to "evil spirits" but a general lack of health care.

The card companies now carry a "Mom-to-be" card and if the pregnancy is in the final trimester with no complications, you might like to do something to help her celebrate.

However, even in this time of modern medicine, women do still have complications and infants sometimes do not survive. A Mother's Day card/gift that comes before the child always risks being a future reminder of a tragic event.

Is giving or receiving a wrist watch as a gift bad luck?

WATCHES AND CLOCKS are popular gifts in America but in eastern culture they suggest a limited life span. They symbolize time runing out. When you give them, you remind the recipient they have less time to live. If you receive one, the remedy for the bad luck from this type of gift is to immediately give the giver a coin to symbolize that you "bought" the gift from them. If not, according to superstition, your relationship may end or you may stop talking to each other.
