*Dr. Vishala Turlapati and Dr. Jadhav Kalpana K.

ABSTRACT

Pregnancy is one of the most important event in the life of every woman and Ayurveda suggested a very good protocol for that which is called as Garbhiniparicharya. This divided into two parts i.e. Medicated diet and Exercise with Yoga & Meditation. Both are necessary in the development of foetus. In diet section all acharyas gave more importance on consumption of ghee, milk and meat. Acharyas gave monthly diet plans which are beneficial for foetal growth, maternal health and post delivery lactation including prevention of some diseases. Yoga & Meditation assist to promotion of both physical & mental health of mother & foetus.
