I have no idea how to answer your question, but I think that is a very thoughtful perspective to have.

I know some Sephardim avoid mustard when they are pregnant, because it can have a spriritual effect on the fetus. Does anyone know how strict this minhag is? For example, can I serve mustard to a pregnant woman without telling her, or would the negative effect still take place regardless of whether she knows she's having mustard (in which case, I'll just leave it out)? |
I married into a very traditional Sefardic family and no one told me anything about mustard. So no answer from me but I'd be interested in learning more about where the minhag came from.
Maybe just call the woman and ask if she has an aversion to mustard.

please, nobody make fun of this. if you 'don't believe in it then just ignore.
there are certain hanhagos that are brought down about what a woman should/should not eat when pregnant. some of these foods are given reasons why. My husband told me that it says that if you eat mustard when pregnant, your baby will 'smell bad'. So in short, I don't eat mustard for the duration of my pregnancies, if I can avoid it. If you want the source I can try to ask my husband.
