Fine-tune your Diet – Even if you already eat well

Almost all pregnant women need to get more protein, more of certain vitamins and minerals such as folic acid and iron, and more calories (for energy). If your diet is poor to begin with, making the transition to eating nutritious meals is one of the best things you can do for your baby's health.

But eating better doesn't mean eating more – or rather, not much more. If you start off at a healthy weight, you need no extra calories during the first trimester, about 300 extra calories a day in the second trimester, and about 450 extra calories a day in the third trimester. If you're overweight or underweight, you'll need more or less than this, depending on your weight. It's easier than you think to get those extra calories: Find out the best ways to eat for two.

First trimester meal planners

The first trimester of pregnancy i.e. the first three months (starting from the first week and extending until the thirteenth week) can be the most joyous period for the mother-to-be. It is also the most crucial period of pregnancy, because it is the time when the pivotal organs of the baby, including arms, fingers, legs, toes, hair, and buds for future teeth, begin to form.

The nervous system of the fetus and the heartbeat of the baby also start functioning, during the 1st trimester of pregnancy. So, you need to take good care of yourself during the period, to ensure that your baby is nourished well. Keep a check on the size and type of your diet during the first trimester, as it determines the health of the child.

I started ayurveda treatment when my baby Jency was 2 years old,she was frequently ill because of her low immunity power & that time i met Dr. Pranjline aunty,who is our family friend also and aunty gave her medicine for immunity...taking these medicine she was fine.... When she was 3 years old, she was suffering from severe constipation & Dr Pranjalin aunty also treated for that & after 3-4months of treatment she was alright....

At that time i also heared about GARBHSANSKAR. it's planning procedure before baby concieve..I was also planning for 2nd pregnancy so I had discussed with my husband about garbhsanskar..we both were decided to do this treatment. We done virechan and all treatment. After virechan we felt good,many problems like acidity,constipation are gone & then we continue for garbhsanskar treatment.Because of this treatment I concive my pregnancy very very easily in same month as per our preplanned for that.Even 2 month of pregnancy I had done dubai trip that time I was afraid for baby but when came back from dubai,i checked up and Dr. told me baby is healthy & fine.

I surely belive that it's all because of Ayurvedic garbhsanskar and heartiest thankful to Dr.pranjlin aunty.she is very enthusiatic,energetic and helpful doctor....

After doing garbhsanskar I surely believe that Pregrancy is not by chance but it is by your "Choice"
I wish all women will take benefits of Ayurveda.

I underwent an ayurvedic treatment for severe pain in muscles and joints across my body. After 5 months of regular ayurvedic medicines, my pain is reduced by 85% without a single side effect and any kind of operation. I am extremely satisfied by this treatment and happy to continue the same…

My son, Darsh Joshi was 4 years old, when we first consulted Dr. Pranjalin Kavar for ayurvedic treatment of his frequent cough and cold. After 3 months of Ayurvedic medicine, Darsh was fit and free from all symptoms of cough and cold, moreover he also developed adequate appetite and hence improved his body weight and health with nutritious food. We are continuing the medicine, as it has no side effects and 100% safe for all age groups.
Mr. Jatin Joshi (Dy. Manager – Commercial, Essar Oil Ltd.), 10/03/2007 - Jamnagar

We tried four expert gynaecologist doctors after 2 years of our marriage, as we did not get conceived after too many trials. At last we also went to Mumbai for expert advice and detailed reports in famous hospital. But there was no solution to our concern. One of my colleague suggested to go for Ayurvedic treatment and then we consulted Dr. Pranjalin Kavar with no hopes. But to our surprise, after interacting with her, she gave us confidence and faith in Ayurveda, not only that, she also took intense interest in our case and gave inspiration and trust in great God. What more we needed? In next 5 months of Ayurvedic treatment with controlled food and yoga, my wife got conceived! That was not over, even during pregnancy Dr. Pranjalin took extreme interest and care for Garbh Sanskaar. The weight of my wife grew from 38 kgs to 57 kgs with extremely good health. We are thankful and grateful to God, Ayurveda and Dr. Pranjalin.

After undergoing one missed ABORTION, I came to know that I am suffering from Infertility. I felt allopathy medicines would be harmful for long time and hence I thought of shifting to Ayurvedic Treatment. I came to know about Dr. Pranjalin from one of my friend for her expertise in Gynec related problems and successful solution with Ayurvedic Treatment. When I started her medicine, in just 4 months, I got unexpectedly great results! I never thought Ayurvedic treatment may be such effective in my life. All the reports started improving as if it had underwent any magic, and this resulted in developing my strong trust in Ayurvedic science, which earlier I never had. In those days, I started believing in the famous line “A doctor is as good as a God for patient”. In short, if I conclude in few words, I would say: “Dr.Pranjalin and Ayurvedic treatment has given an unbelievable solution to my problem of infertility. I am thankful to God for showing me this path in times when I needed it the most. Ayurvedic treatment is not merely a way of spending plenty of money, infact is actually saves money, in addition to effective and harmless solution to your problem”.

I and my wife had the priviledge of going through a treatment of holistic health care at your center. I am Pleased to inform you that we had great benefits and relief out of the paid treatment.
Ashwini Kumar - Collector of Junagadh

I am thankful to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar, for everything that I am having and enjoying today as a Mother of an unborn baby! It is an immense pleasure and eternal happiness to be a mother of my dream child. The credit goes the grace of god and ayurvedic science which has gifted me several things starting from my ovulation cycle till the last trimester of my pregnancy. Earlier I did not had adequate ovulation. Later when I consulted Dr . Pranjalin Kavar, my close aunty and one of the nearest family member, she gave me an idea and advice about the whole concept of MyDreamChild.com which looked amazing and unrealistic at first sight. To design your baby as per your wish and desire, is never before heard in real life except stories and some scifi movies. I also had some unseen fear about the painful and rigorous stages of pregnancy which I had heard from friends and family members and hence was afraid of the real time of my life when I used to imagine how hard my pregnancy time would be when I would have so many pains accompanying my baby. But to my surprise, after having the full course of MyDreamChild.com and personal consultation from Dr. Pranjalin, which started almost an year before my due date, it was like a ride through heaven. It may sound exaggerated, but in real the scenario was so different for me that it seemed to be a dream for me and too difficult to believe that I entered my first trimester so beautifully that I cannot express in mere words. As the time passed, the medicines kept changing accompanied with special Yoga and Music therapy to complete the whole course. I did not get a single pain or complexity which most of the pregnant women suffers, just due to the primary treatment of virechan (drinking pure ghee) and full body massage with special oil. This also helped me gain flexibility in muscles and relief from body aches. Apart from that Sanskrit literature and Music therapy gave pious vibrations to the inner soul of my baby which helped in grasping positive fundamentals and philosophy in the very primary stage of life. This makes me, as a mother, and my dream child, both, distinct from others where the motherhood is not by choice but by chance in the current hectic life and lifestyle. It also changed my perception towards my future life and gave me a satisfactory justification to the question "Why I am a mother and whats my role in making of my Dream Child?" I thank Almighty God to have such family, friends, society and Dr. Pranjalin to provide me and my dream child everything that was necessary and vital in addition to a pure and positive environment. I wish and recommend every unmarried as well as recently married couple to atleast once think over this age old gift from our ancestors but unfortunately diminished from society, the ayurvedic and spiritual way of planning the future and designing your dream child exactly as per your wish and characteristics without any chemical or surgical process. The ayurveda is one of the wonderful and logical science behind the concept of MyDreamChild.com. Wishing all moms a happy and prosperous motherhood ahead! Jai Hind!

It was quite difficult to agree my husband for virechan and all ayurvedik treatment. But when he had that and he got the results,he couldn't believe that those medicine were so effective.During my pregnancy, i was not having a single problem related to pregnancy like vomiting ,swelling etc. I was able to do all work even in 9th month of my pregnancy. i really enjoyed that time.And my baby also get the benefit of all that things.Her immunity is very strong.Even growth is also noticeable compared to other babies. All credit goes to Dr.Pranjalin Kavar. Me ,my husband and our family members are very thankful to her from bottom of our hearts.

I feel significant improvements in my health issues, since I was struggling with many health related issues like “Depression’ , “Giddiness”, Fluctuat Blood Pressure, Uncertain Menstrual Cycle. And Dryness in my Eyes Due to which my life was disturbed and got off tracked. I could not concentrate on my routine activities, and my family. But thanks to the support and guidance provided by Dr. Pranjalin Kavar, she is very empathetic and understands the needs and requirements of her patient, her cool and calm approach in treating patient is incredible, not only she reacts well to the situation but she is extremely good in execution. Her knowledge about Aryurvedic medicines is awesome; she not only shares the vital and long term benefits of such medicines but strongly believes in diminishing such health problems from the root itself with the help of Aryuvedic medicines. She is blessed with some great staff members, as they are extremely supportive and assist you whenever required. With the help of this beautiful team of Ayukalp Ayurvedic institution not only I have come out from the above mentioned problems but this treatment has changed my mindset and made me see positives in life. Especially treatment of Netra Tarpan and Sirodhara has help me a lot. I do believe that Ayurvedic treatment takes time to get rid of such health related issues, but if we happen to get such beautiful team and proper treatment of ayurvedic medicines then nothing makes you wait for a long time. I do not miss an opportunity to spread a word of mouth about this beautiful ayurvedic treatments as it as help many of my family members and known relatives and they are extremely satisfied with such treatments. Thanks to Ayukalp Institution, Aryuvedic Treatments and Dr. Pranjalin Kavar

I was a girl. After marriage I was enjoying my womanhood. While enjoying that duration suddenly a wish of being a mother aroused in me. But not like ordinary people, I wanted my child by choice not by chance. I wanted to do all the possible things I could for having a healthy and sanskari child. For that, first I had to be healthy and sanskari. I heard from my sister-in-law (Dr. Pranjalin) about Garbh Sanskar Treatment. I went for it. In Garbh Sanskar Treatment, firstly I had to perform my body cleaning process. During this process I had to take a little pain but the wish for being a mother made it enjoyable for me. I was enjoying all the treatment. As my body cleaning treatment was complete, I felt something new in myself. I felt energetic and also very light. We do clean our body while having bath form outside, but what about inside? God has set a system of internal cleaning, but we have spoilt that system very badly due to our eating habits and also due to the polluted environment. But with the Virechana treatment (Body cleaning process) this was possible, and felt healthier. During this treatment, most importance must be given to the diet. Your body, your nature, your behavior, everything is based on the diet of the person. I had to change my diet from my choice to my need and my expediency. I had a habit of eating only what tastes good, not what is nutritious. I loved chocolates and all products made of maida. But now I had to leave eating all those things. Slowly I felt changes in my body. My stomach problems were almost solved and my diet had also changed. After that, before conceiving baby, I was suggested to go for Nasaya. I was having new experiences daily. Now we had to proceed further for conception. I was excited to know that even during intercourse there are certain things to take care of. Perfection in all work give good results. This was what I had just heard. But even for conceiving a child you need perfect planning I was unaware of it. With God’s blessings and Garbh Sanskar treatment’s result I got the news that now I was expecting. During the pregnancy duration also I had to take many precautions. Precautions related to my thoughts. I had to keep my thoughts positive and strong too. Thoughts of the mother make direct effect on the child. Keeping this in mind, I started reading books. Reading during pregnancy must be systematic not disorganized. Systematic reading gives proper result. I was surprised to know that reading during pregnancy changes according to the time and growth of the baby. Along with religious books even knowledge books make a good impact on the baby’s mind. I followed the system. Even the diet changed as time went going. Finally the time of delivery was coming near. During labor pain also, due to proper planning and guidance I could bear the pain. Finally I delivered a child of my choice. I wanted a baby boy. God gifted me a healthy and fine baby boy. I was very happy and thankful to god. I was very satisfied with the treatment also. Finally my child was on this earth. He was very healthy and active. I am feeling very proud to say that it was the result of the treatment. On the fifth day after my child’s birth I found many good symptoms of activeness in him. My mother in law just held him standing straight; he lifted his foot and started moving further. It felt as if he was walking. Before time he started recognizing me. As I speak, he starts finding me and looks here and there to find out where my voice is coming from. As I call him he starts smiling as if he wants to talk to me. His schedule is also very nice. He takes proper sleep. He does feeding also properly and time to time. His schedule related to his stool passing and urine is also good. He is of two months now, touch black, but he has never cried due to stomach ache or any other pain problem. He takes proper sleep at night also. Not praising him, but I have never stayed awake for him. Even I can take proper sleep and stay fresh. And the best of all, my child started feeding the day of his birth itself. I got the benefit of doing exercise of my breasts. Milk had started flowing easily for my child. Now as days are passing, I find everyday something new in him. He is just one and a half month old and his activities are like of a five month old child. As we keep him straight he starts lifting his legs and starts walking. He climbs from stomach to chest to shoulder to the sofa corner and finally he climbs on the window and still finds place to climb up more. I feel glad to see him grow faster. He loves massage and also exercise. Even during his bath he did not cry he was really enjoying it. We named him Kartavya. I pray to God that all what I have done for my child’s health and sanskar do not go waste. Thinking positive, I know what all I have done for my child will bring good result but still I will try and will do the best, for my child as all mothers do. This was my experience till Kartavya became of two months.

We always believed in having a baby as a soulful journey rather than a mere outcome of a basic human need. Along with spiritual needs for having pious soul as a baby there was also a substantial need to follow a path as per the Hindu rituals and ancientand very scientific GarbhSanskar methods which provides guidance for physically, mentally and emotionally healthy child. Aayukalp has been one of the great helper in reaching this goal of ours. As a strong follower of Hindu Aaryuveda we were in a need for a friend and a knowledgeable person who could help us during our pre conception period to guide and get the right mixture of medicines and tonics required for a healthy and methodical conception.Dr. Pranjalinben has been guiding us in this endeavor of ours and her immense contribution shall remain unmatched. Needless to say Aayukalp has done it all. Patiently being part of the journey and a guide all through.

What can I say about Dr Pranjalin Kavar. To me, she came into my life as an ‘angel’, who comes, asks your wish and fulfills it. At the age of 41, it was only a dream for me to have a baby. With a medical history of diminished ovarian reserve, poor quality eggs, 3 IUIs, 2 IVFs and 2 miscarriages, the hope was very less. My brother pushed and convinced me to go see Dr Kavar while I was visiting India. With almost no belief in Ayurveda, on my brother’s request, I finally went for a consultation session with Dr Kavar. She is one of the doctors whom you would instantly fall in love with. Her positive attitude and way of explaining things was what won me over. Without making any false promises, she gave me the hope and confidence that she would try her best to fulfill my dream. Her only demand was to follow religiously what she really advised and have faith in her/Ayurvedic treatment. The journey wasn’t easy. Lots of sacrifice, discipline and determination is needed. But is that much, I thought, to get what I wanted the most in life? The answer was a simple “No”. I went on a “satvik” diet on her recommendation as soon as I started the treatment. Started fertility yoga. Lost 14lbs and was in best of my health. All this was to improve the internal health and get the system ready to sustain the baby. Within just a couple of months of treatment (2 weeks in India and the rest in US) with Dr Kavar, I went in for my IVF process. The result? A big fat POSITIVE on the home pregnancy test and blood test. Not only was I pregnant, my IVF specialist said the quality of eggs and sperms was the best we (my husband and myself) had ever had (in our previous 2 IVF cycles). I had a whopping number of 9 eggs retrieved, out of which 4 fertilized with excellent quality. This was the magic of Dr Kavar and Ayurveda. Never had I thought in my wildest dreams that Ayurveda had this extreme power of improving one’s health (especially infertility). Dr Kavar has been a blessing in my life. She is not only my doctor but I truly consider her as a very good friend and guide. She has been with me throughout my journey, is always willing and available to listen to your concerns and questions. She listens patiently and is happy to see her patients doing well. I never found her to be commercial and demanding unnecessary treatments. She is the BEST at what she does. If I have to give any advice to anyone wanting to go through treatment with Dr Kavar, the only thing I would say “LISTEN TO HER”, for she only wants the best for you because she is the “BEST”. Thank you Dr. Kavar for everything you have done for me. My baby, my husband and I will always remain grateful to you.

Dear Dr.Madam,
With help from MDC Dr. Pranjalin Kavar, we blessed with baby boy “Tanmay”, on 5/30/2015 12:29 noon and it was the most amazing experience I could have ever imagines and could not have gone any better. I appreciate Dr. Pranjalin Kavar and the staff at associated with MDC. After year of lose and complications, I followed each and every step and because of their proactive approach we have been blessed with a little boy this time! He is perfect and healthy ~ Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I consider myself very fortunate to have Dr. Pranjalin Kavar as my aunty and also one of the nearest family member. I strongly recommend Dr. Pranjalin Kavar to any woman looking for a good Ayurveda Doctor.

After 03years of marriage, it is perfect time to become mother so we decided and asked to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar for further course of action. We adopt Garbh sanskar treatment. I was enjoyed all the treatment it was like a journey through heaven on earth. Every trimester medicines have been changed with different diet plan, yoga and music therapy. I had received weekly mail from MDC with admirable information for diet plan, yoga and what happened with baby & mother which has given me very good information for become good mother. Initially it is very painful but after this course I am feeling very pleased and very lucky to adopt this treatment. I can’t express it in my words what i feel. Finally we blessed with healthy Baby Boy.

Aartiba Harnish Zala, Surat

During my pre wedding gynaecologist consultancy, I was informed that I am suffering from PCOS. Also with being in sports during school days and an injury on account of the same, I used to suffer from acute back pain. As with time, the pain had subsided a bit and used to occur rarely I did not pay a lot of attention to it. However, my monthly cycles were never very regular. Post wedding we came to know that the back pain could be a result of both PCOS and excess weight. It was from a friend that my husband knew about Dr. Pranjalin Kavar and we decided to consult her. The very first time that we met Dr. Kavar, I was immediately convinced that I wanted to carry on my treatment with her. She has a very positive and a warm personality and never treats her patients like clients only. With time and her constant support, we are now very comfortable with her and can easily discuss any issue. She listens to us every single time with the same concern and compassion. She is very well professed and is always ready with the right answers, be it questions related to her profession or something else. When I started my treatment, approximately 4 months back, I was 71kgs and today I stand at 65 kgs. She advised me to start regular yoga along with the medicines and it has worked wonders with me. Both me and my husband underwent 'Virechan' as well and it was a very good experience. Though we were a little sceptical in the beggining as were were supposed to consume medicated Ghee in huge quantities, however her support and guidance made it easy for us. I am still continuing my treatment with her and I wish to acheive even more for myself and I am very sure that under Dr. Kavar's guidance, we will be able to achieve our goals very soon.
Aarti Sharma

My Experience with your medicines have been “magical”. I feel so lucky to have met you and I want to everyone suffering with irregular periods to know that Ayurveda is the best safest, sure and quickest way to getting your natural period cycle back on track. I have never had a regular cycle from day 1 and have wasted more than 15 yrs of my life doing Alopathy (from best Dr’s in Mombay) only to put on weight and depend on hormones to get a period. After taking Dr. Pranjalin’s medicines I got my period naturally, without any side effect and continue to get them every month. (yes! Ayurveda is that quick).
Thankyou for everything dr.

Love nidhi

Sorry for taking so much time to share this with you but, this is what we really feel from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you, is a very small word. We started our journey with Dr. Pranjalin almost 2 years back. I and my husband wanted a planned pregnancy and wished to opt the natural, ayurvedic path for the same. And the answer to this wish was Garbhsanskar, our very first appointment with Dr. Kavar was enough to help us be sure she is the one that we want to work with. In these 2 years we have realized that, Dr. Kavar apart from being very good professional is very caring, empathetic and supporting guide too. Her consultations have never made us feel like patients or clients to her, rather we were more like friends. She does an amazing job making you feel comfortable as it helps you discuss your issues or concerns better.

I had a history of irregular periods on account of PCOS, which also makes natural conception difficult. The route that followed our consultation was a little intimidating, as it required consuming certain amount of medicated ghee and regular supplements. But her attitude, compassion and support never let us waver from the path and helped us stay equally motivated throughout the journey, for what we started.

Today we are blessed with a boy and no words can express our gratitude towards her. We always wished to go the natural way when it came to planning our family, as my husband and I, did not wish to opt for allopathy and there couldn’t be a better guide than her. Though nothing compares to what she has done for us but a million thanks to Dr. Pranjalin Kavar. We are glad we found and chose you.

Ankit & Aarti

I must admit lots of Credit goes to Dr Pranjlin the way she has guided me during the entire pregnancy, and the way she prescribed me medication, diet, exercise, positive thought process all this were a part of my smooth pregnancy and perfect execution Thanks Dr Pranjlin Ones again..

Dhruti & Nirmitbhai

"Prem" : that's what we named our son (born on 3rd February 2019). Truly a gift from heaven above and Dr. Pranjlin Kawar. It's been 9 years that we are married and me at the age of 32 decided to have a baby. Being lucky enough to have family-like relationship with Dr. Kawar, asked her if it's safe and wise to conceive at this age ? And she was like : "Don't Worry" "let's go ahead". Her undoubted faith in ayurveda helped us establish trust in her and her treatment - Garbha Sanskaar. She and Her treatment not only took care of my physiology, but also helped me phycologically throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy. Her genuine "Don't worry" made me a healthy mother of a healthy child.

We happened to travel to the USA when I was 7 months pregnant, we had to deliver the baby there in USA. Apart from all the preparations for my medicine and treatment, her 24x7 support was what kept me going. She was reachable even from across the globe. She makes me feel at home when I have any damn query or concerns. Transparent character like her is rear to find who discusses every bit of her treatment to the patient. My husband questions Everything, and she has an answer to all of them.

Testimonial is just a formality, we really don't have words to express our Feelings and gratitude for Dr. Pranjlin Kawar. I've faith in her and her know-how about her field. She's a blessing to me. Warm and level headed person who has a positive approach to no matter what comes her way. She has added one more medal to the glory of ayurveda and our country. Thank you very much Doctor, for everything you did.

Rachna & Pratik (Prem Patel)

I am most thankful to Dr. Pranjalin for her nutritional plan & guidance. It has helped me in conceiving within 2 months of consulting her.
Upon first approach, She had suggested I undergo Ayurvedic detox which I did. Though the cleansing procedure was not easy, her constant emotional support & telephonic guidance helped me finish the program.

I had then undergone IVF treatment which turned out successful in the very first round. Before undergoing any invasive fertility treatment, one should always undertake the conservative & ancient ayurvedic approach, to facilitate the hormonal balance & improve reproductive system blood circulation.

Again, I greatly thank her for her invaluable professional advice. Her services are highly recommended for all couples struggling with fertility issues.

I attended Garbh Sanskar Classes and I am very thankful to you all. all points and all types of knowledge give me in Gavaskar class every session is very important and informative. we all know about Garbh Sanskar but not and details of this was the best opportunity for me. I am very happy that I joined your classes and learned a lot about Garbh Sanskar in an authentic way. in Modern era how we can progress better and better in this field. all these new ideas are the best part of the class. I hope we will stay in touch and we can explore this field more and give our best guidance and treatment to all patients.

Dr. Kena Patel

Attended the course of Garbh Sanskar from 18 April 2020 and it was awesome. It really helped me in my practical practice and taught me a lot about Garbh Sanskar making me confident in what I do. Very glad to attend that caused by which I am closer to Iyer Veda thank you so much both mam for providing us with such useful knowledge.

Dr. Mahera Qureshi

I had learned the basics of Garbh Sanskar and its most advanced practical approach and day-to-day clinical practice; her guidance and in-depth knowledge of Garbh Sanskar is that she is very Cooperative at encouraging throughout all the sessions and very thankful to both the faculties for their immense support and guidance.

Dr. Manisha Varmora

After attending the course I can simply say that it was an amazing genuine gaining of knowledge of garbage Sanskar and its implementation. Now I can use it in my practice and help society through this. The class was very simple and easy to understand and it added a lot to my knowledge. Thank you so much for arranging this kind of online course of Garbh Sanskar during this lockdown.

Dr. Nishchal Pandya

I am really thankful to Dr Deepa Mehta and Dr Pranjalin kavar for giving such a detailed explanation about the Sanskar which we could not find in our Ayurveda books. Before joining the session I did not know the wideness of Garbha Sanskar. It's a bonding between mother and child. it's not only a subject of Ayurveda but by this, we can give a good and wonderful person to the world so you are doing an excellent work for the world. Before 2 years I had just thought to learn but at the time I didn't take it seriously but after attending the session I assure you that I will and I can do this practice. Thank you for sharing the details of good recipes for pregnant women which are also useful after pregnancy which we can't find anywhere.
