The age is exact and the pressures of the in laws are less as all of the family members are still trying to assess the newly weds behavior and in initial stages of marriage there is greatest harmony in home. It is a prerequisite for the mother not to have any mental tensions and pressures bothering her after the conception. These pressures act on her and also indirectly on the baby. This indirect pressure on the baby can cause multiple problems in future after the birth. The mother-in-law syndrome that works in majority of Indian homes also has to be blamed for this. They have lot of expectation from their daughter-in-laws. If these are not fulfilled then there is an emotional pressure; which starts building up in the daughter-in-law. These emotions get suppressed majority of the times and the same character is imbibed in the child and you may get a child who is shy, hides his emotions, unable to face the society etc. On the contrary if these pressures are not there the child will be the healthiest one in every respect viz. Mind, body and spirit. So if the mother-in-laws want their grand children to be healthy it is their duty not to pressurize their daughter-in-laws and there should be always a feeling in the minds of daughter-in-laws that they are with their parents. Psychological role therefore plays a major role in having a healthier baby.

Also exercise mainly a walk for almost half to one hour will be beneficial for both the mother and the child.
