This has always been a talked about thing in a hispanic culture. I never put much interest into it until now. I am 3 months pregnant and so is my cousin. The pin wearing is more than just the lip it is also about deformaties a baby can be caused by it. Unfortunatly we had an eclipse this past Tuesday, my cousin was unaware and did not wear the safety pin. Sad to say, she lost her baby. Now am not saying it was due to the eclipse but it might have contributed to it.
