Ayurveda believes that suppression of natural urges and use of a non-congenial diet may also be responsible for abnormalities such as weak (intrauterine growth retardation /low birth weight) and blind baby.
Garbhini (pregnant women) should not move in dirty, foul-smelling places; avoid wine and other intoxicants, smoking, and excessive exercise, etc.
Due to Ati-vyayama (physical activities or exercise in excess), Ati-Langan (excessive fasting), Ati-vyavaya (excessive sexual indulgence), Ati-karshana (Excessive emaciation because of the affliction of disease), Chinta Shoka Karshana (weakening due to excess stress, grief, and worries) day sleep, Prajagara (remaining awake at night in excess) and Vegavidharana (suppression of natural urges) affect the different organs or body parts in pregnant women by vitiating the relative dosha and that dosha will also affect the same body parts or organs of the fetus.
In Atulyagotriya Adhyaya of Charak Samhita, it has been mentioned that marriages between two similar ‘Gotras’ should be avoided, otherwise it leads to congenital deformities in children. Besides these, during delivery bearing down or straining in absence of labour pains is contraindicated as it may cause deafness, dumbness, jaw-dislocation, cranial injury, and other deformities.
