Pregnancy is a period of changes in all spheres. When the baby is growing in the mother's womb, the internal space of the organs in mother's body goes into a shift. The intestines are pushed downwards as the baby grows and causes discomforts like constipation while the diaphragm gets pushed upwards from its place causes breathing discomforts. The mother's body creates that space naturally and hence the discomforts are natural to occur.

However by specific techniques like Pranayama , the circulation of oxygen and difficulty experienced during the shift in organs or grouping of organs can be overcome. Pranayama is a practice of breathing which helps in several ways by purifying the oxygen and enhancing the overall wellbeing of the mother and baby. The transport of nutrients from mother to baby takes place through blood in oxygen, hence enhancing the oxygen quality helps both mother and baby.

Pranayama is also beneficial for the labor. If the mother equips herself with breathing techniques earlier, her lung capacity improvises thus helps in going through labor with enough stamina. Coping up with pain also becomes much easier if pranayama is practiced earlier.

Pregnancy pranayama is very specific to pregnancy, as the mother needs that extra amount of oxygen supply and blood supply. She also needs that extra stamina.

These are some of the benefits of pregnancy pranayama while practiced regularly:

	It enhances the oxygen supply
