Women who are malnourished at conception are unlikely to improve their nutritional status during pregnancy when the fetus’s needs increase. They may not gain enough weight and die younger than healthy women.
It all comes down to the expecting mother’s mental health and physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. MAA Program suggests some guidelines for pregnant women to follow in Effective and Healthy Diet, Exercise, Meditation, and Positive Communication.
A pregnant woman needs to nurture the conceptus in her womb and be mindful of the changes in her body. Her diet needs to be planned considering the required monthly weight gain and strengthening the conceptus’s constitution bones-tissues.
Generally, the pregnant woman needs to consume all the Shad Rasa (Six Tastes – Sweet, Sour, Salty, Pungent, Bitter, and Astringent) per need and fulfil the pregnancy requirement. Specially curated pregnancy nutritional kits with ingredients and recipes are provided. She needs to be mindful of her conditions and the child’s needs growing in her womb.
Although many women have an “easy” pregnancy, there may be some mental or physical issues that come along with it. Many mothers-to-be are stressed out about the health of their child, the birth, or the many problems that can happen during pregnancy which may lead to exhaustion, depression, or have poor physical health, all of which may increase their risk of giving birth.
Therapy sessions include managing emotions, being sociable, self-confident, and enabling a positive mood. Monthly Follow up sessions for Garbh Samvad and other activities are conducted to raise the mother’s spirits.
