Safe Child Birth upaya

I am sharing a general upaya , not horoscope specific , which I have found to be very
effective for safety of the child during the pregnancy and the safe delivery of the child.

[ 1 ] Take a red thread { kalawa } long enough so that it could be tied round the waist. Take
this thread to a Ganesh temple and get it blessed by placing it before the idol, praying that
this thread be the ‘raksha kavach’ { protective thread } of the child. Bring the thread home
and the expectant mother should tie it round her waist. If for any reason the thread is
defiled or broken, tie another through the same process. If you can’t get a kalawa, then dye
an ordinary thick cotton thread with haldi { turmeric } paste.

After the child birth the same thread should be tied at the wrist of the mother and the
child both and should stay on their wrists for 18 months.

[ 2 ] Just before going to the hospital for the delivery , the mother-to-be should establish
, at home in a safe place , two brass containers { lota }one filled with milk and the other
filled with sugar. Immediately after the safe delivery both the containers should be gifted
at a temple or any religious place. If the delivery is at night the containers can be gifted
the next morning after sun rise.

[ 3 ] If there is an apprehension that the delivery might be unusually painful , complicated

or through an operation { caesarian } , the mother to be, before leaving for the hospital,
should establish ( keep ) at home a little Jau { barley } in a bottle filled with water. Immerse
both the jau and the bottle in a river, after the safe delivery.
