Growth of the fetusThe progressive growth of the fetus has been explained in detail in Ayurved. This growth can now be seen through modern techniques. It is amazing how ancient Indian medical science was able to describe the growth of the fetus so accurately even thousands of years ago. During the first month, the embryo resembles a ball of kapha, and is shapeless. In the second month, the embryo increases in density, and slowly becomes down, oval, or shaped like a teardrop. In the Third month, the tiny round fetus develops a tail, two arms, two legs and a head, and appears to have five different parts. Other organs and senses develop at a microscopic level at this time.<figure id="figure-nqku36t3dglryyvus4"><img id="nqku36t3dglryyvus4" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1528218635780-5952720c9729?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMnx8cHJlZ25hbmN5JTIwMXN0JTIwVHJpbWVzdGVyfGVufDB8fHx8MTcwNjUzNTAzMXww&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080" alt="man kissing woman's forehead white holding ultrasound photo" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="1st Trimester - We are growing Love" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined"/><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">1st Trimester - We are growing Love</figcaption></figure>

Breasts During the first trimester, the breast and nipples undergo a lot of changes and require special care and attention. These changes take place so that the mother produces adequate breast milk, so that breastfeeding is easy for the baby. Massage breasts lightly with Santolan Suhrud oil for 5 to 6 minutes every day after the 1st trimester.&nbsp; This can be done twice or twice a week during the whole pregnancy. This helps reduce sagging of the breasts after the baby has been weaned.<figure id="figure-fg0tga2l6rlryyyi3f"><img id="fg0tga2l6rlryyyi3f" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1606572733585-1c54ba3cf917?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxzdHJldGNoJTIwbWFya3MlMjBwcmVnbmFuY3l8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA2NTM1MTUwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="woman in pink panty and bra" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1606572733585-1c54ba3cf917?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxzdHJldGNoJTIwbWFya3MlMjBwcmVnbmFuY3l8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzA2NTM1MTUwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure> Stretch marks&nbsp; They come from around the beginning of the third month of pregnancy. It is advisable to start using oils infused with herbs that have the skin and check the development of stretch marks. Example: Use Santolan rose beauty oil, or a KumkumAdhya oil to gently massage the abdomen, thighs, and buttock. If you can add San massage powder to the oil, it will further enhance the benefits, reduce itchiness, and prevent looseness of the skin. This should be done every day in the second trimester and from the 6-month onwards (third trimester), do this twice a day for best results.Ayurvedic literature has several suggestions to help minimize stretch marks. Gently massage the breasts and abdomen with a paste made of sandalwood and lotus stem. You can prepare a mixer by mixing equal parts of the bark of the Shirish tree, the flower of the day at the plant, mustard seeds, and jyeshthamadha, should be massaged gently onto the breasts and abdomen. From the 4th month onwards, the pregnant women should begin the practice of massaging her entire body gently with oil. One should use oil like Santolan Abhiyang Sesame oil. Applying this oil every now and then all over the body will help prevent unnecessary weight gain and maintenance of the figure. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; During the last 3 months this massage becomes imperative and should be supplemented with another oil, specifically prepared for the back and spine like Santulan Kundalini oil. This oil should be massaged into the waist and back, and up to the shoulder every day without fail.&nbsp; Why to do this: This keeps the joints in the back, supple and lubricated, which in turn, facilitates the process of labor.&nbsp; All these measures balance Vata, help to maintain good health and a trim figure. They also aid in conserving strength and preparing the body for timely and easy labor.
