You抮e tired aren抰 you? Well growing a baby is hard work, and no one is going to tell you otherwise! Your body is exhausted and quality rest is good for you and for your baby, especially when stress and anxiety can be at an all-time high.
Sometimes it can be hard to find time to truly de-stress, especially if you have a full time job, other children to take care of, and a household to run. But it抯 important that you find time to kick your feet up (especially if you experience hypertension), zone out, and relax.
Here are some tips on how to curb anxiety and relax during your pregnancy:
?Take a warm bath, instead of a shower. Don抰 listen to your mother who says that pregnant women can抰 take baths梚t抯 an old wives tale! Taking a warm (not too hot bath) is a fantastic way to get some alone time and let your mind wander.
?Go for a relaxing stroll. Getting fresh air can relieve headaches and sore muscles and can reduce anxiety and stress. It抣l also get your blood flowing and rev you up with a bit more energy.
?Take a nap. It抯 okay to take advantage of your first trimester exhaustion by catching a few daytime zzzz抯. If your schedule allows it go snuggle up in bed for an hour, but try not to get too much daytime sleep if you have trouble sleeping at night.
?Get a body pillow. It抯 hard to get comfortable when you抮e carrying around all this extra weight. A body pillow can help you distribute your weight comfortably.
?Check out prescription drugs online that are safe for pregnant women. Consult your doctor or online pharmacist to ensure your safety and the safety of your fetus.
?Breathe! You抮e doing great!
