Abstract

The growth and development of fetus requires more nutrition from mother. This cause increased workload on the maternal dhatus so she needs extra nutrition during Garbhavastha. To withstand with all these anatomical, physiological and psychological changes and for proper growth and development of growing fetus garbhini should consume proper diet and follow pathya which are stated by our acharyas as Garbhini paricharya. Systematic supervision (examination and advice) of a woman from the date of conception to delivery of baby or during pregnancy is called antenatal (prenatal) care. It is very well described by our acharyas mainly in Samhita period. They have described monthly dietary regimen and living style for whole pregnancy with a aim to ensure a normal pregnancy with delivery of a healthy baby from a healthy mother. First to nine monthly complete description about diet, masanumasik aahar vihar, things to be avoided during pregnancy is explained in samhitas by different acharyas. Detailed colabaration of garbhini paricharya in last trimester by different acharyas is done. Parallel study the effect of different karmas explained in the paricharya of last three months on achieving easy and normal labour without causing any event. Scientific evaluation of these karmas on stages of labour will be helpful in order to achieve healthy mother and good progeny. The diet during pregnancy should be balanced and should rich in calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals. In this phase the body needs extra nutrition for developing foetus, for pregnant lady herself and for lactation. In samhita's acharyas give references regarding anuvasan basti and yonipichu in 3rd trimester.
