Author Radhika: Introduction about yourself, and what do you do?
Author Rohit: Dr.Rohit is basically a curious person. His curiosity for
the world took him to Merchant Navy where for 10yrs he traveled through oceans
and visited many countries. His inquiry into what is valuable to humans as a
being and as a society led most of his journey as well as career choices. The
idea of exploration, learning, and adventure excites him the most.
He is a practitioner of socially responsible living which is
complimented through his informal education in Ayurveda and systemic study into
developing human values. Dr.Rohit achieved his doctorate in Prenatal, Perinatal,
and postpartum care and remains committed to practicing Indian traditional
wisdom as he explores its miraculous gifts for pregnant couples.
Author Radhika:
What inspired you to write "Beginnings of Motherhood"? Was there a
personal experience or moment that sparked the idea for this book?
After Merchant Navy, Dr. Rohit co-founded Jamghat to work for the education,
resettlement, and livelihood of street children in Delhi. He has been primarily
involved in working with vulnerable groups of society for the past 20 years. He
founded another organization, Advaya, to work to inculcate values in education
like compassion, resilience, and considerate living.
In Dr. Rohit’s view, women are the cornerstone of the family. Hence, he
founded Pregayanam - a pregnancy coaching service of support and care to empower
her as she grows to be a mother. The team at Pregayanam is dedicated to pregnant
couples who want a comfortable pregnancy and natural birthing. It is a healthcare
service that provides hand-holding support on diet, lifestyle, and mental well-being.
Unlike conventional birthing services, Pregayanam works with a couple (not only
with the expectant) through wisdom derived from traditional Indian practices on
care during pregnancy.
Author Radhika :What is Pregayanam? How
"PEGAYANAM" is helping expecting couples?
Author Dr. Rohit: Pregyanam is
inspired from word 'प्रज्ञान' which means 'किसी विषय या वस्तु का विशेष रूप से प्राप्त ज्ञान' i.e. specialised wisdom about a topic.
Pregyanam is a supplementary
system of care and support for a family expecting to grow. The idea of
Pregyanam was brought to life by families and couples who have benefited
immensely from traditional wisdom, while they were pregnant. At Pregyanam, we
embrace knowledge and Indian methods that are verifiable and can be practiced
in an urban contemporary family.
We consider all the avenues of
support that can be extended to a family that is going through pregnancy and we
prioritize what the expecting mother and the baby needs above all else. In a
lifestyle where choice tends to confuse rather than empower, it’s hard to do
what is right. We therefore exclusively work with one couple at a time, to
ensure that we, together with them choose the right path and have a pregnancy
that is remembered for all the good reasons.
Pregyanam helps you achieve
your pregnancy goals
1.
Trimester-specific
lifestyle and exercises
Pregyanam offers individual tips on lifestyle for each month. In
addition, we offer Exercise, Yoga, and Meditation sessions. All sessions are customized
to keep one’s actions in harmony with your thoughts and to maintain that
balance of progress, satisfaction, and enjoyment.
·
Each
month of pregnancy has different exercise needs.
·
Our
instructors are specially trained to guide pregnant couples in different stages
of pregnancy.
·
For
harmony within oneself and for relationships to thrive, a calm and composed
mind is essential
2. Create
happiness and support within the family
Pregyanam understands the need and value of a support system required by
a couple during pregnancy. Therefore we provide you with a certified
relationship counsellor to speak to you and your family. Every couple needs an
extra nudge to beautify their connection with each other, even more so during
pregnancy

3. We
deliver a healthy baby and a happy mother
The health of the baby and the Mother, who too is “born” at the moment
of delivery, depends critically on diet, and lifestyle choices that have
implications for the rest of their life. Therefore we provide all-round
assistance through the following services up to 2 months post-delivery:-
·
Mother’s
quick recovery and strength
·
Effective
lactation
·
Critical
diet and lifestyle choices post-delivery
·
Reducing the
risk of postpartum depression.
4. Peer-to-peer learning sessions
We believe interacting with couples who have
been through the journey of pregnancy is extremely helpful. Therefore we hold
monthly group sessions between experienced couples who have been through and
those who currently are on this beautiful journey of pregnancy.
5. Monthly
customised diet plan
Pregyanam offers a Monthly Gyan Kosh which has month-wise diet suggestions
sourced from Indian traditional texts and curated for an urban modern
