According to Ayurveda, pregnancy and delivery can be a rejuvenating experience and a positive highlight of a women’s life. Among the branches of ayurvedic science, there is a separate department called Strirog-Prasuti Tantra (Gynaecology and Obstetrics) devoted to women and children’s health, including pregnancy care.

Pregnant women can use the principles of Ayurveda to care for themselves during pregnancy, and support their recovery period after their baby is born. Ayurvedic recommendations focus on diet, behaviour, activities, herbs and therapies.

According to Ayurveda, pregnancy and delivery can be the most rejuvenating experience of a women’s life, during which every cell of the mother’s body can be transformed.

During pregnancy, downward-moving energy called Apana vata supports the development of the fetus. When the mother-to-be is balanced, there is enough Apana vata to go around. In cases of stress and tiredness, however, the upward-moving vata – called prana vata – has to step in and is redirected downward to support the needs of the baby. Without the prana needed to feel the joy of pregnancy, this can leave the mom exhausted, depleted, tired, and even depressed postpartum.

Ayurveda strongly recommends a diet based on fresh flora. Fresh green vegetables and freshly cooked food products are highly advantageous for maintaining the health and hygiene of the mother as well as the baby. Ideally, highly spicy and oily food should be avoided for maintaining a balanced metabolism.
