Question

Can a pregnant woman visit the grave of Rabbi Shayele of Kerestir?

Answer

Hello,

It is permitted for a pregnant woman to visit the graves of tzaddikim.

There is no source that prohibits a pregnant woman from entering a cemetery, but this is the custom. However, in cases of necessity, such as a yahrzeit or for prayer at the grave of a tzaddik, it is not customary to prohibit it.

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita
