Abstract: Becoming a mother is a beautiful dream of every woman, but both pregnancy and child birth, to a certain extent, are unpredictable processes. Hence the care of a pregnant woman presents a unique challenge. It is common for a pregnant woman to experience unpleasant symptoms during pregnancy often caused by normal physiological changes the body of an expectant mother. Any abnormality in response to maternal nutrient deficiencies leads to complications like low birth weight, IUGR, preterm delivery etc. A good antenatal care can make a significant contribution in minimising the physiological discomforts and also help to maintain an uncomplicated pregnancy. Ayurveda has given prime importance to antenatal care. Wellbeing of Garbha can be achieved only through the wellness of the Garbhini. The Garbhini paricharya in Ayurveda directs its efforts towards forming a dietary regimen providing the garbhini with adequate amount of essential nutrition to fulfil the dietary demands as well as to prevent the discomforts or other related symptoms as far as possible, besides the normal, healthy and timely growth of the foetus.
