The emotions are an extremely important aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Emotional well being is an integral part of health in the TCM model. Each emotion is associated with an organ, which, if out of balance will cause specific symptoms. These are what the experienced acupuncturist or practitioner of TCM is looking for when you walk into their office with a complaint.
baby shower or Seemantham is a way to celebrate the expected birth of a child by presenting gifts to the mother at a party, whereas other cultures host a baby shower to celebrate the transformation of a woman into a mother.
Usually the baby shower isn't until like the 8th month or so. Its just to #1 make sure of what you are having (if you choose to find out) #2 that you are sure to carry to term. Sounds horrible however I know of two women who lost after their baby showers thn had all of this baby stuff sitting around.
