Seemantham
In Tamil Nadu, India this ceremony is called Valaikappu. The valaikappu is typically hosted by the woman's parents in either her 9th or 7th month of pregnancy. ... While the event itself is generally non-religious, and is celebrated by Hindu, Muslim, and Christian woman across Tamil Nadu, ours incorporated a Hindu puja.
Mostly, all over the world these are celebrated in the 7th month of pregnancy (Usually the odd numbered months – 7th or 9th for good luck - but the 9th month might be too late). There are many different ways of celebrating, but the universal essence is to make the mom-to-be feel special and even pamper her.
