PREGNANCY AND MOTHERHOOD IN AYURVEDA BY DR UNNATI CHAVDA

Pregnancy and Motherhood in Ayurveda By Dr Unnati Chavda..

Promoting the Health of Mother and Baby During Pregnancy Using Ayurveda 

Ayurveda places an enormous emphasis on the importance of caring for the mother before, during, and after pregnancy. Dharma (righteousness), artha (wealth), lakshmi (auspiciousness), and loka (the entire universe) are represented in every woman. Ayurveda regards the woman and her ability to produce and care for children as the basis of family life which, in turn, is the very foundation of society. 

Therefore, only if the women of a society are safe, protected, and content can these qualities manifest in that society.

When the male and female seeds unite and the soul enters the union, an embryo (garbha) is created. Ayurveda gives great importance to the quality of the seed (ovum). In addition to the female seed, the mother also provides the 'ideal terrain' ( the uterus) into which the seed is to be planted.

The husband, parents, siblings, relatives and other family members are advised to oversee the pregnant woman's diet and encourage activities that are healthy and enjoyable to her and beneficial for the child developing in her body....is indeed a holistic one. Guidelines regarding diet, activities, behavior and mental activity (ahar, vihar, achar and vichar, respectively) are also measured....The goal is the protection and nourishment of both the growing fetus and the mother.

From the moment the pregnancy is confirmed, the woman is counseled to follow certain guidelines of living according to Ayurveda...and special regimens are prescribed for each month in the subsection Garbhini Paricharya. The basic wisdom to be understood is to take greater care during the first three months of pregnancy and during the eighth and ninth months.

Promoting the Health of Mother and Baby During Pregnancy Using Ayurveda begins with a month by month description of developments during pregnancy, including nutrition, tbe daily routine, yoga asana, meditation, happiness, challenges, herbal medicines as well as classical month by month regimens, herbal gbees, and preparing for the baby.

In Ayurvedic management of pregnancy, each woman is screened for signs of vitiated Vata. Through diet, medicines and-cleansing regimens, vata is pacified well in advance. Vata must be kept in balance during pregnancy. Itis the downward moving flow of energy in the body and must not be too strong or too weak. An emotional disturbance that can be caused by excess vata is anxiety. Foods, rest, and oil massage will be prescribed in order to restore balance. Vata is key to maintaining the pregnancy as well as birthing the baby at the time of labor. 

We have seen that women who are given therapies for management of Vata have surprisingly easy pregnancies and deliveries compared to those who are not.
