Abstract: Antenatal care is essential for the mother's and growing foetus's health during pregnancy. Proper weight increase is a sign of a good pregnancy since it has a direct impact on the weight of the baby, i.e. neonatal birth weight. Pregnancy problems include both excessive and insufficient weight gain. There is a risk of foetal development limitation with minimal weight gain, thus focus on serious issues. Serial fundal height measurement, USG, biophysical profile, ponderal index, and other methods are used to identify IUGR weight growth and accompanying symptoms. During pregnancy, women require more nourishment or supplements to ensure the normal development of the growing baby. Obstetricians nowadays recommend iron-calcium-folic acid supplements. This ailment was defined as "Upvistaka Garbhavyapad" in Ayurveda thousands of years ago, and its treatment is clearly recorded. To avoid this strange condition, pregnant women should follow the Ayurvedic regimen.
