In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnancy reflects the constitution of the mother — how her body adapts to the demands of growing new life.
Deficiency means the body’s functions are lower than optimal, like when thyroid hormone drops during pregnancy. Excess means one system is working too hard, often at the expense of another. Together, this imbalance can leave a mother feeling tired, gaining weight herself while the baby may not grow as expected.
Prenatal care in TCM is about restoring balance. By supporting what is deficient and calming what is excessive, we nourish both mother and baby so they can thrive together.
