Ayurveda considers food to be the best source of nourishment as well as medication for the pregnant wom-an. The nine monthly diets are singularly unique to Ayurveda. It changes in accordance with the growth of the fetus in the womb and at the same time ensures health of the mother. The woman is considered as one of the most essential factors for the continuity of the human race. During Garbhavastha, she experiences lots of anatomical as well as physiological changes at the level of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. These changes are nothing but maternal adaptation to the increasing demand of the growing fetus. The Growth and devel-opment of fetus requires more nutrition from mother. This causes increased workload on the maternal Dhatus, so she needs extra nutrition during Garbhavastha. Ayurveda has suggested a very good protocol Masanumasik Garbhini Paricharya i.e. Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), Vichara (psychological aspect) to be followed during pregnancy with respect to each month. This article describes an Ayurveda perspective of Ahara Vihar W.S.R to Masanumasik Garbini Paricharya.
