Vedic Astrology Predictions Related to Childbirth

Vedic astrological predictions related to birth of a child may not always work. Let us have a look at some Vedic astrological predictions associated with various aspects of childbirth. Bringing a new baby into the world is a very exhilarating and life-changing decision, but it can also be filled with anxiety and uncertainty. So much to consider: family support, financial capacity, lifestyle changes… It is essentially a leap into the unknown. It is the biggest irreversible decision that you as a couple will ever make in each other’s life. No matter how varied and different India’s culture may be, prevailing norms amongst all Indians indicate the necessity of starting one’s family as soon as possible. In the staunchly patriarchal society that we live in, the pressure to get pregnant never lets up. No sooner than a couple gets hitched, “when are we getting good news?” is the question on every well-meaning yet annoyingly intrusive aunt’s lips. Difficulty or even a delay in getting pregnant can play havoc on a marriage. The stress can put excessive strain on relationships with your spouse, in-laws and extended families. So before you start trying for that little bundle of joy, turn to Vedic astrology to know what destiny has in store for you and your future children.
