The season of a woman's life during pregnancy and birth is a time of profound growth and nurturing as she carries a new life within her. Throughout this transformative phase and experience, her body undergoes remarkable changes to support her developing baby. Her emotions may also fluctuate as she prepares for motherhood. It is a period of anticipation, wonder, and the deep connection between a mother and her unborn child and her womb, which is known as ’The Baby Palace’ in TCM.

TCM approaches pregnancy and birth with great care and focuses on maintaining the balance of "Qi" and addressing any imbalances or discomforts and common pregnancy-related issues that may arise to ensure a smooth and healthy gestation period. It nurtures a mother through every month of her pregnancy by looking after a specific organ at that time. Known as "raising the foetus month by month".

Significant importance is also placed on supporting the mother during birth, emphasising the need for a smooth labour and delivery experience. Techniques such as acupressure, acupuncture and herbal medicine may be utilised to assist with pain management and promote relaxation to help maintain the overall well-being of the mother and baby.
