Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Child ? Month 3

Growing Fetus

All senses, limbs and organs start to develop. The heart begins to beat, and blood circulation begins. The movement starts, the sex of the child may be apparent, and fingernails and toenails appear. Baby is 3 inches long and weighs 4/5 of an ounce.

Food For Nutrition

Include a lot of fluids like milk, water, coconut water and juices in your diet. Fruits like dates and figs (anjeer), and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and green vegetables are recommended. Have milk with honey and ghee to increase nutrition. Also, add madhura and sheetha veerya substances in your diet to promote growth and formation of the cellular mass.

Keep Calm

Stress and mental disturbance are bad for the growth of your baby. So, get regular herbal massages that will soothe your body and mind ensuring a smooth development of the baby.

Do Yoga

Yoga has a lot of benefits for an expecting mother, and there are many asanas you can do. Here are two of them.

Tadasana

This asana steadies your breathing and relieves pains and aches. It rejuvenates and refreshes you and boosts energy.
