An adequate diet is important for pregnant mother to meet their nutritional needs as well as foetal growth.

Life begins from conception and in Ayurveda, it is considered that garbhasanskar starts from before the conception. By following ahara, vihara and vichara as mentioned in Ayurveda, is the best way to make sure childbirth safe and natural. The purpose of this paper is to provide a broad view of the diet, nutritional needs, daily and seasonal regimen during pregnancy as well as correlation of mother nutrition with foetal growth during period of pregnancy, Garbhini Paricharya is nine-month protocol in Ayurveda, recommended the pregnant women to follow a specific diet and daily as well as seasonal regimen, which is designed properly to take care of the requirement and needs of the pregnant woman for safe pregnancy and motherhood.
