a doubt on conducting Bhumseevana seemantham

[Guest guest]

My daughter got conceived 2 years after marriage in 2008.But during the 7 th

month of pregnency she developed some complications.We had by that time

completed conducting of Valai kappu ,poochutal etc as required by sastras.Our

sambandhi had fixed choultry for conducting seemantham and had posted

invitations to all .But meanwhile the doctor advised against the cnduct of the

function as her health was very delicate and she can not stand the homam smoke

and has t be confined to bed.Hence the function was cancelled ,but she became

very critical and the doctor said that they can only save the mother and the

baby has to be forcibly delivered if at all we want the mother to be

survived.They administered some medicines which artificially induced forced

delivery before the required 32 weeks period.The delivered baby survived for

fraction of a minute and passed away.Now she is again completing eight months

and my doubt is whether our in-laws should conduct the seemantham fuction which

they could not perform earlier or it is deemed that the seemantham is to be

conducted for the first born baby only.

I would like to know the opinion and suggestions of your esteemed group

regarding conduct of this function and what does the sastras say about this.
