Abstract

Healthy progeny is the requirement of every society. In order to achieve this goal, completion of gestation period along with optimum or complete fetal growth is the pre-requisite. According to Sushruta for achieving the complete fetal growth, four factors are essential viz. Ritu (Healthy menstrual cycle with good sexual health) Kshetra (anatomical normalcy of uterus), Ambu (qualitative as well as quantitative proportion of amniotic fluid) Beeja (healthy and fertile gametes). With the help of these four factors there is fertilization and production of healthy fetus. Whenever there is complete growth and development of fetus (Garbha) within a stipulated time of 37-40 wks gestation (Garbhavasa), it will initiate the natural birth process like a fruit fall from tree after gets complete ripening. It is very cleared that, completion of gestation period with optimum fetal growth is essential for Sukhaprasava (Natural and easy birth). This article is an attempt to explore the role of completion of gestation period and fetal growth for natural and easy delivery.
