In our Indian beliefs & traditions, there are a few mantras to the pregnant woman well being and for the newborn baby's health.
1. Mantra:
namosthu amrutharuupaaya sarvaushadhi nrupaayacha|Yagnalokaadhipatheye Somaya paramathmane||
This mantra is to chant daily by the pregnant women either in a sitting position on dharbaasna or if not possible by sitting on the chair.
When she completes her 5th, 7th, or 9th month of pregnancy, Seemantham /valikaappu is conducted by the family members, it is a custom and tradition of Indian culture and belief. This mantra has to be said by the husband on that Auspicious occasion.
This mantra belongs to the moon. Chanting the moon regularly will give amruthaswaroop Santana like the moon with cool, intelligent, clever, and good health.
2. Mantra:
sathugarbho' mahaatejaa gaangeyaha pavakodbhavaha|divyamsaravanam praapyavavrudhey adbhutha darsanaha||
This mantra belongs to Kumarasambhava, in Anusaasanika parvam. The purpose of the mantra is to give absolute health to pregnant women. If any mistake has been done unintentionally or coincidentally in Ahar (diet), and Vihar(recreation time or stepping out to other places) niyama's, such effect cannot reach the baby. The women will have satsantana, healthier and safe delivery for a child.
Chanting this mantra 108 times will give good results, if not possible chant at least 27 times in the worship/prayer time. Try to prefer to be in positive thoughts.
As per our Vedic culture, there are many mantras to be followed for wellbeing, safe and free delivery. Regular poojas at home are allowed and not good for yagna's, Yaga's other solemn vows, and special poojas.
After reaching the seventh month the baby is fully formed with panchendriya's, which means she is ready to give birth, so in this time women should not be allowed to do weighted works, going on stairs.
Generally, maximum temples are at height, reaching such heights on foot can affect the womb, the atmospheric pressure on such heights can lead to miscarriage, so pregnant women can't go for temple visits.
Breastmilk is very natural for every pregnant woman, some tips are followed by our ancestors.
Tips to produce milk in an organic way:
Food that produces heat.
Taking garlic can improve the milk very fastly.
Take 6or 7 garlic cloves and a small cup of milk, and make boil for a few minutes and eat, this will help to give milk in one hour.
Tindora is good.
Fried wheat with ghee and boiled in milk can give milk in an hour.
Feeding breastmilk is very healthy for the born baby because breast milk consists of required proteins and minerals for the baby's growth.
Lalitha sahasranamam tells about the food habits from the first month of pregnant women. starting from:
amrutadi mahashakti sanvruta dakinishvari|| to
svahasvadha mati rmedha shrutih smrutiranuttama||
There is a list to eat in starting 1st month to 8th month.
so try to read Lalitha sahasranam.
Rules to be followed by the pregnant women husband:
As per the culture, in the previous days, the husband does not shave, haircut and strictly followed the food rules.
He is not allowed to do solemn vows, special pooja's after pregnant women reach the seventh month.
He should not go for Tirtha Pilgrim, do not perform yagna's, Yaga's, he should not do Archana's in the temple on the name of the pregnant women. Following these rules by the husband will give moral support to his wife.

Nutrition in pregnancy is too much important to ensure the healthy growth of the baby. women need counseling to discuss health issues in the period of pregnancy.
