Re: wwyd - going to a wake
I agree with the other girls. I would definitely go. I went to a wake a couple of months ago for a friend of mine's grandmother.

I think if it is not your religious belief to not go to the wake while pregnant, then you should probably go. It is the respectful thing to do for a woman that works for you. Unless your religion prevents that or you are sick, I see no reason not to go.
i agree with this
i would go, but i'm not superstitious or religious so i see no correlation between being pregnant and funerals.
However, if your religion is against it, then don't go
ultimately you should weigh your comfort level with being there for someone you work with

In the Hindu religion, from what I understand, you are not supposed to be around death or see death during a pregnancy. I believe Judaism has a similar sort of superstition about it.
Yes, there is a Jewish belief (superstition??) about not being around death during pregnancy and most would not go to the cemetery while pregnant. They would attend the service held elsewhere and would pay a Shiva call to the family.
Being Jewish, I would not feel comfortable going to a wake while pregnant - not very different than going to a cemetery in my personal opinion.
However, if these are not your beliefs, then you should do what you feel comfortable doing. I see no real reason for you not to go unless you just don't feel comfortable - we have to do what feels right to us during this time.
I'd probably explain privately to the person and send something on my own (not just contribute to the group gift).
ITA. i am in the minority here, but i would not go if you have doubts about it. I feel the same way as you, so i would not go.
