Ayurveda recognizes diet as the main form of nourishment for the pregnant woman and also as a medicine. Ayurveda is singularly unique in the nine- monthly diet. It changes in accordance with the development of the fetus in the womb, even as at same time maintaining mother's health. Woman’s diet and activities performed during the period of pregnancy reflects on fetus. Hence Ayurveda has given great emphasis on Garbhini Paricharya for nine months by different acharyas. It describes rules about diet. Many changes occur in the body of the mother during pregnancy to create a suitable environment for the growth of the fetus. The nutrient availability for the fetus is determined by maternal body composition, nutritional stores, diet, & ability to deliver nutrients through the placenta.
