Some Tips for stress relief
1. Talk : Find someone who could listen your views and problems and issues you face. This will really affect you.It can be anyone your Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, mom, sister, father, anyone even your maid. Just focus on your condition and you want someone then go for it. Don’t think too much.
2. Support: If you want any kinda help regarding your work, baby , cooking, skin, or anything. Go for it.
3. Routine: The day your baby come in your life, from that day onward you should try to make a routine for your baby. It may take a month or two but you should follow that. And you should follow a routine according to baby’s routine. Make yourself into the routine. that will really help you out in pregnancy and post pregnancy.
4. Meditation or Yoga: You should get time from your whole day and give at least 30 mins for meditation or yoga. That make your mind relaxed and peaceful.
5. Follow your passion: There are definitely certain things that makes you happy. It can be cooking, reading, watching movies, Music etc. Just go for it and make yourself happy.
6. Affirmation: Say some positive affirmations daily and you will see the difference i must say. Make some small goals daily and do that anyhow, that will make you happy and stress free.
7. Outing: I am not saying for outing for every week but you should go out for at least once a month. There are many things you should be careful about during pregnancy but if your gynac permit for that then go for it.
8. Avoid Negative People: There are many people who talk only negative things and focus on only negative just ignore those. You want to be happy right? Ignore and do something else just distract yourself in that moment. Why to think negative you are going to be a mom and you are a creator, its a wonderful feeling and don’t waste it by thinking negative.
Its your life and you are responsible for good as well bad in your life. Its your decision. Just follow some of the above and you will see the difference.
Thank You.
Its been almost 40 years since I was pregnant, but I remember it like it was today. I had terrible hormone problems and weight gain. A lot of weight gain. Yes, please take care of yourself and calm yourself. Take a walk.
Wow, I know what it like to be stressed but I have never been pregnant, so I can only imagine. very insightful for me
Another thing is prayer during your meditation time. Passing your stress on to God is a great release.
These is really good advice! I will have to pass this on to my cousin who is a few months pregnant now.
Good ideas! While I understand that you're looking at the relationship between stress and pregnancy, you've laid out some great steps for anyone with elevated stress levels.
You and my wife are much related in terms of pregnancy, As I remember her yoga few years back I have done a lot of things and sacrifices just to ensure she is comfortable. This will help us in near future for sure. Thank you.
Love your tips!! A lot of stress come to our life. I will start doing the "positive affirmations.
Very true! You should always look after yourself well but it is even more important when you are pregnant. Great tips!
To say that my first two pregnancies were stressful is an understatement. I went through both of them without the daddies in my life. I was a single mother. If not for my parents and family's support I wouldn't have survived that episode in my life. It was stressful. But with my third child is different. I am married to the kindest person I know and my needs are important than his. In short, I was well taken cared of. It was such a happy and uplifting experience for me. I can totally relate with this. Thank you for sharing.
I have never been pregnant. But I can imagine these. I will share this with my friend who is going to be a mummy.
My pregnancies were all very stressful. After 15 miscarriages and the stillbierth of my second son at full term, my pregnancies were all high risk and a very emotional and worrying time for us all.
Pregnancies can be stressful and these are all great tips to a less worrisome one. xo, Suzanne
I am not there yet but I guess it is always good to be prepared and know what to expect. Also know that all pregnancies are different and can be very stressful so to have someone to talk to or rely on when needed! xx corinne
