Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy care is also called Antenatal Care is the support and healthcare given for women during the full pregnancy until delivery of the baby. One of the happiest moments for mother is childbirth, to become a “MOTHER”. In Ayurveda we have great care for the unborn baby and the woman during the pregnancy period. Systematic supervision has to be regular as per the individual needs. The factors above need to consider at the period of pregnancy. Diet and physical health need to be maintained at proper levels to have a healthy baby with less complication at the time of delivery. The common complications are hypertention and diabetes. A midwife supervises the women during their entire pregnancy and looks over the difficulties they might be having or the precautions that need to follow.

Pregnancy lasts about 280 days or 40 weeks, and three Trimesters:

First Trimester : The first trimester is from week 1 to 12 week. It is the most crucial part of the pregnancy as the foetus just started forming the organs, and the mother needs to be very careful during this period. Harmful effects during this trimester can cause congenital disabilities.

Third Trimester : The third Trimester is the last trimester and starts from week 27 to week 40. Premature babies can be born before week 37 as the baby’s organs form entirely and the excitement to see the baby increases.
