Some more Ayurvedic background:

Managing Pregnancy with Ayurveda: Ayurveda offers an in-depth exploration of the origin, existence and evolution of human life, with special emphasis on the various factors that influence life in the womb. The focus is on understanding how anatomical and functional conditions can be managed in future life by understanding the origins of the organs during intra-uterine development.

The following points in original and authentic Ayurveda play a role in this:

  • Managing each month of pregnancy with herbs, diet, yoga etc.
  • Conditions for the formation and evolution of the Garbha (embryo or fetus)
  • Role of five basic elements in the development of the Garbha
  • Best food to support the Garbha
