Filipino superstition about pregnancy and funerals

Hello all, I am new to this group. Background: My name is Melanie and I am 36 years old and a FTM. I am 12w1d pregnant and recently found out a family member has passed away, with the viewing on this upcoming Wednesday evening and service on Thursday. With all this said, no one in my family knows about my pregnancy yet and we are waiting until the end of the first trimester to tell people. Question: what are Filipino superstitions regarding being pregnant and attending funerals? I’ve heard conflicting things such as I should not attend altogether or I can’t look into the deceased casket or I can’t touch them. Hoping for any advise. Thank you!
