With regard to specific rituals or adhkaar specifically for the woman during pregnancy, we did not know of any such thing in Islam.

6. Take your Medicine and Get regular prenatal care
Regular prenatal care is essential for a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal care includes regular check-ups with a healthcare provider, as well as tests and screenings to monitor the health of the mother and the baby.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, “Prenatal care is important to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and to identify any potential problems before they become serious. It also provides an opportunity for the healthcare provider to educate the mother on healthy behaviors and to answer any questions she may have.”
During pregnancy, it is important to eat a healthy and balanced diet to ensure that both the mother and the baby get the nutrients they need. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats is recommended. It is also important to avoid certain foods that can be harmful to the baby, such as raw or undercooked meat, fish with high levels of mercury, and unpasteurized dairy products.
According to Dr. Siobhan Dolan, a medical advisor for the March of Dimes, “A healthy pregnancy starts with a healthy diet. Eating a variety of foods from all the food groups can help provide the nutrients a pregnant woman needs for her own health and the health of her baby.” (food advice)
Include more of these food;
- Leafy greens: Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin K. These nutrients help to support healthy blood flow and can prevent anemia, which can lead to irregular menstruation and other issues.
- Berries: Berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are high in antioxidants, which can help to prevent cellular damage and inflammation in the body. This can be especially helpful for women who have endometriosis or other conditions that cause inflammation in the reproductive organs.
- Whole grains: Whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread are a good source of fiber, which can help to regulate hormones and prevent constipation. They are also high in B vitamins, which are important for energy production and overall health.
- Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds are high in healthy fats, which can help to regulate hormones and reduce inflammation in the body. They are also a good source of protein, which is important for building and repairing tissues in the body.
- Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables of all kinds are important for overall health and can help to support a healthy uterus. Some particularly beneficial options include avocado, sweet potato, broccoli, and citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits.
Excercise:
Regular exercise during pregnancy can help improve overall health and reduce the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before starting or continuing an exercise program during pregnancy, as certain conditions may require modifications or avoidance of certain exercises.
As Dr. Dolan explains, “Exercise has many benefits during pregnancy, including reducing stress, improving sleep, and reducing the risk of certain pregnancy complications. However, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting or continuing an exercise program during pregnancy.”
Below are some exercises that are generally considered safe and beneficial during pregnancy:
- Walking: Walking is a low-impact aerobic exercise that can be done throughout pregnancy. It can improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the legs and hips, and help with weight management.
- Swimming: Swimming is another low-impact exercise that is great for pregnant women. It provides a full-body workout, improves cardiovascular health, and can help alleviate swelling and joint pain.
- Yoga: Prenatal yoga is a gentle form of exercise that can help improve flexibility, balance, and relaxation. It can also help prepare the body for labor and delivery.
- Strength training: Strength training exercises, such as squats and lunges, can help strengthen the legs and core muscles, which can be beneficial during labor and delivery.
- Pelvic floor exercises: Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegels, can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can help prevent urinary incontinence and prepare the body for labor and delivery.
It’s important to listen to your body and avoid exercises that cause discomfort or pain. It’s also important to stay hydrated, avoid exercising in extreme temperatures, and wear comfortable, supportive clothing.
Get Enough Sleep
Getting enough rest and sleep is important during pregnancy. Fatigue is a common symptom of pregnancy, and it is important to listen to your body and get the rest you need.
It must be noted that there are NO Duas in the saheeh Sunnah that are specifically for the pregnant woman or the baby.Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Are there any verses that may be recited for the purpose of making childbirth easier for the woman?
He replied:
I do not know of anything of that nature in the Sunnah, but if you recite over the pregnant woman who is in labour that which speaks of things being made easier, such as the verse (interpretation of the meaning):“Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you”[al-Baqarah 2:185];and that which speaks of childbirth and delivery, such as the verse (interpretation of the meaning):“And no female conceives or gives birth, but with His Knowledge” [Faatir 35:11]– this will be beneficial; it has been tried and tested, by Allah’s leave.
The entire Qur’an is healing; if the reciter and the one to whom it is recited believe in its impact then it must inevitably have an effect, because Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):“And We send down from the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss” [al-Isra’ 17:82].This verse is general in meaning; healing and mercy includes healing of hearts from the diseases of doubt and desire, as well as the healing of bodies from physical disease.
