madre embarazada

I would like a nice literal translation of the following which I saw on a sign in Oaxaca. I'm particularly questioning how to translate the word "sana" in this sentence. "Madre embarazada -- Sana la llevara al exito de tener un hijo sano." I would say "Pregnant mother -- we will take you to the success of having a healthy child." Or "you will be taken to having?? But "sana" -- would you translate that as "safely" maybe? As I said, I want a pretty literal translation. Thanks!

Doesn't it just mean healthy, as in a healthy pregnant woman will lead to a healthy child being born?

So:

Pregnant mother: Health will lead her to successfully have a healthy child.

Tog tog is right.

Besides, it might also mean that "Sana" might be the name of a business?

I think togtog is pretty close.

Sana is just healthy here, I believe.

Pregnant mothers. (being) Healthy will lead her to success in having a healthy child.
