 Pregnancy and the childbirth are the big transformations in the life of a woman. It is the total transformation from a woman to a mother. Though it's a very natural process, because of human structure it is not very easy and simple. The pain, the other experiences are of the highest degree, during the childbirth. There are lots of physical and mental changes taking place. During pregnancy, due to the structural changes, there is a lot of pressure on the spine, legs and bladder.
Yoga teaches you, how to overcome these problems. It takes care of you both ways, mentally and physically. Learning and practicing certain yoga postures and Pranayams during pregnancy, helps you out to maintain the muscle tone and use the energy to ease out the foetus movement through the birth canal by getting control on your breath and muscle movements, at the time of child birth. Practicing meditation will release the mental tension and make you comfortable for the whole process. Also it affects the health and the growth of the foetus as well. It affects even the mental development of the foetus, as it's been proved that foetus learns many things while in the womb.
It is advisable, not to do any kind of exercise during the first three months of the pregnancy, as the embryo is yet to set fully in the womb. Also the women having a history of early abortion should consult the doctor before starting any exercise. Any posture with pressure on the abdomen should be avoided during pregnancy.
The main problem during pregnancy is the strain on the spine. A posture like Tadasan, Kati chakrasan and Marjarasan helps to release the strain from the spine and makes it strong. Hold the posture for 5 to 10 breaths and do 3 to 4 repetitions. Postures like Bhadrasan, Anantasan and Utthit ekpadasan helps to get pelvic muscles strong, which is very helpful during the childbirth. Simple exercise like hand rotation will make your hands and shoulders strong to support the contractions during childbirth.
Pranayams makes your mind relax and calm. Deep breathing exercise teaches the proper utilization of your breath during the contractions, to ease out the movement of the foetus through birth canal. Meditation and Omkar chanting is the best way to get away from the problems like risk of high B.P. and raised sugar levels during pregnancy. It also makes the foetus comfortable and mentally healthy. Listening to good music or holy mantras is also helpful.
Along with this a normal walk and daily routine work will keep you fit during pregnancy. Have a good healthy diet, considering the requirement of both yourself and the baby. Avoid consumption of alcohol or smoking, both mother and father, during the pregnancy. Be happy and in a good mood which helps in a good emotional development of the foetus.
You should learn all the postures and Pranayams under the expert guidance and any problem should be consulted with the teacher. If necessary get doctors advise. For some days at least do yoga practice in presence of the expert.
So lets make the future of India bright. Lets help ourselves through yoga to give birth to happy healthy family.
