    YOGA FOR PREGNANCY
    (Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation, 2010-12-04) Shamanthakamani Narendran; Nagarathana R.; Nagendra H.R.
    The word obstetrics is derived from the Latin term 'obstetric meaning 'midwife'; this is also associated with the verb "obstare" which means to 'stand by' or to 'stand in front of a pregnant woman'. The much older term 'midwifery' was used instead of obstetrics until the latter part of the 19t h century in both United States and Great Britain. Even today in England, the term 'midwifery' carries the same meaning as that of obstetrics
