Attainment of motherhood is the cherished desire of every woman. Childbearing and delivery are such physiological entities which are always ready to convert into pathological entities, if uncared. Hence, antenatal care is essential, to maintain the health in the affluent society, to improve the health in developing countries and to bring healthy offspring into the society. Among the various ailments occurring in pregnancy, Garbhini Shoola i.e., abdominal pain or discomfort is one of the commonest ailments. No Ayurvedic texts have given any sort of definition regarding Garbhini Shoola. However, Garbhini Shoola or vedana may be defined as the pain and discomfort in abdomen and groin felt by a lady at times, during pregnancy. This type of pain or discomfort during pregnancy may be mild in nature causing occasional discomfort or may be moderate to severe causing disturbances in daily activities thereby affecting the health of the pregnant lady adversely. Therefore, an effort has been put forth to understand the concept of Garbhini Shoola and thereby explore the different management regime as mentioned in our Ayurvedic classics.
