Seemantham is only for the first child. Valaikappu: This ceremony is performed during the odd months of pregnancy mostly during the fifth or seventh month for the expectant mother in her mother's house. Prayers are invoked for the well-being of the mother-to -be and the fetus. I am supposed be dressed up just like I did during my haldi ceremony before wedding. For convenience, mostly people do this seemantham and Valaikappu on the same day, which is what we did too. I had taken a day off on 31st Aug. We (Anand, I and parents) woke up fairly late at about 7:30, had coffee and cereal.
Try to suction the fluid out of your ear. Try releasing the pressure with a gentle Valsalva maneuver. Take a breath, hold your mouth closed, plug you nose closed with two fingers, and force air up the Eustachian tubes by blowing. Tilt your head downward, with the problem ear facing toward the ground. You will feel a pop if the technique works. Stand on one foot and tilt the side of your head that has the fluid caught in it. Hop on your one foot, keeping your head tilted toward the floor. Hop slowly, being careful not to tip over.
