The second trimester of pregnancy represents a stage of stability, nourishment, and foetal growth. Ayurveda, through Garbhini Parichay (antenatal regimen), emphasizes the holistic care of the expectant mother by balancing doshas, ensuring proper nutrition, and maintaining mental calmness. Yoga, an integral part of Ayurvedic philosophy, complements these principles through gentle physical, respiratory, and meditative practices. This paper explores Ayurvedic insights on pregnancy in the second trimester and examines the role of yoga as a therapeutic and preventive measure to enhance maternal and foetal well-being.[1]
