Read Kunjal Vora's experience with Swastha matrutva Garbhasanskar course:
I received Dr Harsha Kulkarni’s referral from one of my friends who had attended the Swastha Matrutva course and I am so glad that I joined the course. I had read about garbhasanskar and how its practices have a positive effect on the unborn child. Modern studies have proved that fetus responds to external stimulus something, that Ayurved has preached since ages. I wanted to make sure I did everything possible to have a positive impact on my child’s development.
As a first-time would-be mom living in USA without close intervention from elders, I didn’t know what to expect or what kind of questions to ask. During pregnancy, your body goes through a lot of physical and emotional changes. There is a ton of contradicting information available on the internet and you don’t want to experiment with your body by following wrong advice during this critical stage. Dr Harsha’s course is holistically designed to include all aspects of garbhasanskar such as meditation,music therapy (listening to good spiritual music), yogasana, mantra chanting, specific diet for each month based on child’s development of organs, home remedies for specific health conditions, birthing ball exercises, math classes, art classes etc. to ensure both sides of the mother’s brain are active. There is also a session for dads to ensure that they are equally involved in the process. The course also included post-delivery care such as breast feeding, caring for the new born. As I had gestational diabetes, I had to take extra care to ensure that my carbohydrate count is under control and I don’t gain excess weight. Dr Harsha provided valuable guidance about glucose tolerance and weight gain. Her tips during the 9th month to ensure a smooth delivery were very helpful for me. I had to push for less than 45 mins and had minimal tear during delivery. The doctors here were surprised as this was unusual for the first time Mom.Dr Harsha has been very responsive to all questions asked during and after the course. Thank you Dr Harsha!
