Safe motherhood ensures that all women receive the care they need to be protected and healthy throughout pregnancy. It is also important to seek the advice of a skilled birth attendant such as a doctor, nurse or midwife, about where the baby should be born.

In Ayurveda Kasyapa Samhita discusses in details about pregnancy, childbirth and childhood. Besides, Charaka and Sushruta have also thrown enough light on these features. An early stage treatment of various pregnancy disorders such as vomiting, pre-eclamptic toxemia, eclampsia, fever, constipation, anemia, jaundice, diarrhea etc. with the help of different ayurvedic methods leads to a safe and healthy pregnancy. These disorders can even be avoided using ayurvedic precautions during every gestational month.
