In particular, during the first, second, and third months of pregnancy, a woman should consume sweet and cool, liquid-like foods. Specifically, in the third month, she should be fed rice with milk. In the fourth month, she can have food mixed with yogurt, in the fifth month, food with milk, and in the sixth month, food with clarified butter. Some suggest that in the fourth month, she should consume a meal made with milk and fresh ghee, along with hearty foods that include wild meat. In the fifth month, she can have food mixed with milk and ghee, and in the sixth month, she should take clarified butter in moderation, along with barley. In the seventh month, she can have clarified butter separately with leaves. This way, the fetus is nourished. In the eighth month, she should consume a mixture of water from the badara fruit, strong herbs, and milk, along with oils, salt, and honey to promote health and purification of the body. After that, she should use sweet, bitter, and astringent milk for anointing, as this helps in a smooth delivery and keeps her free from complications. Therefore, with a nourishing and wholesome diet, she will have a safe and comfortable delivery.
