Pregnancy, Childbirth & Early Motherhood; An Ayurvedic Perspective

In the first of this two part series, Nick & Joanna will talk about how Ayurveda views pregnnancy, childbirth and early motherhood.  Part II will focus on how hypnosis/hypnotherapy can benefit Mother and Baby and especially during childbirth.

This is a very important and tender time for both Mother and Baby and Ayurveda definitely has some practical and nurturing recommendations. It all boils down to self-care where the most important aspect is consciousness. Even before conception is planned, care should be taken that Mother and Father are in the best of health so that their creation can have the best start; not only being in good health physically but also within their relationship to provide a loving, joyful environment in which the child will learn and grow.

During pregnancy how a mother eats and cares for herself becomes even more important because what is happening inside of her, is also happening to the baby.  Balancing mind, body, emotions and the environment become of utmost importance and it is in everyone's best interest to keep mother stress-free. Through the practices of Meditation, Yoga, and Ayurveda, consciousness around the plan to bring a new life into this world is what will create a baby that is a happy, healthy, and contributing individual to society. What is ingested, done, and thought about during pregancy can be the difference between a child that is unhealthy, anxious, and disconnected from him/herself, others, and the environment, versus a child that is healthy, vibrant, joyful and connected to him/herself and finds her place in the world as he/she continues to grow into their dharma or purpose.
