    HI Sri,

    Congrats to you and which is your delivery date? Here are some Kashyams. My personal advice is dont take Kashyams frequentily. When you cross 9th month, then you can take Jeera kashyam 2 times in a week and if you get a pain have 'perungaya kashyam'. If it is a false pain the pain will go off. Otherwise the pain will increase. If you feel 'over heat' you can make 'sonf kashyam' and drink.
    If you feel that you are haivng swelling on your legs you can take 'barli water'.This water you can take at any time from the 3rd month. and you can drink this water instead of water. ok?

    Cumin/Jeera Kashyam

    This you can prepare and drink twice a week.

    Ingredients:
    1 teaspoon Jeera
    2 sp crushed palm jaggery (karupatti in Tamil)
    2 cups of water

    Method:

    Dry roast the jeera in a pan.
    Once the auroma comes add water and palm jaggery.
    Allow it to boil and let it reduce to 1/2.
    Drink as it is or you can add a sp butter.
    You can drink as per your wish.
    That is you can drink this 'kashyam' very hot or hot.

    Note: you can add normal jaggery if you dont like pam jaggery. but best is palm jaggery. Even you can add sugar.

    Asafetida water / Perungaya Jalam

    In a pan just put 1/2 sp ghee and put 1/2 sp asafetida powder.Let it fry.
    Immediately pour 2 cups of water and allow it to boil.
    When it reduces 1/2 the quantity, remove and serve hot.

    You can drink this when you feel pain. If it is false pain the pain will reduce and if it is a real pain the pain will increase. So that you can go to doctor.

    Some Tips



    These are some tips for pregnant ladies.
    1. If you feel swelling on your legs and hand, put barley water and drink. You can drink this water instead of normal drinking water.
    2. Daily apply coconut oil on your stomach and hip before taking bath.
    3. After 8 months, you can pour hot water on your hips, stomach and legs before you go to sleep.

    Note: Please ladies share your experiences and ideas here. That will help many ladies who are away from their home.
