This article describes maternal and child care practices among women from India. As in all cultures, certain beliefs exist surrounding what facilitates a good pregnancy and its outcome, as well as negative sanctions. These practices continue to influence many immigrant women to whom western practices are either unknown or unacceptable. An understanding of the traditional belief system of such women can case their adaptation into the Canadian and U.S. health care systems.
本文描述了印度女性的妇幼保健做法。与所有文化一样，围绕什么有助于实现良好的孕期及其结果存在某些信念，同时也存在负面制裁。这些做法继续影响着许多移民女性，她们对西方做法要么不了解，要么无法接受。了解这些女性的传统信仰体系有助于她们融入加拿大和美国的医疗保健系统。
