Your wellbeing through pregnancy
Your mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical wellbeing and so a holistic approach is needed to ensure you are keeping on top of this throughout your pregnancy.
Pregnancy is different for every woman, so it becomes so important to listen to your own body and do what you need to do for your own wellbeing.
A few of my favourite wellbeing tips through this time;
Taking time out for yourself and doing things that spark joy or calm will make you feel so much better.
It’s ok to slow down, take it easy and rest when you need to. Your body is growing a little person which is a tough job at times!
Your body is going to change. Acknowledging this and rolling with it without comparison is key.
Focus on the positive, be present and mindful.
Eat well and keep moving. Check out our Pregnancy Fitness Guide for more guidance on this.
Identifying the constant shift in your hormones and how this affects emotions is important; as is being kind to yourself as a result!
Reach out and ask for help, support and advice if you need it. Pregnancy can be such an unknown and talking to others definitely helps.
Remember that pregnancy is a temporary state of being but one that is physically, mentally and emotionally demanding. Your body is growing a whole new person and being used as a house for this moment in time. Be sure above everything else, to listen to your body and what it needs – after all, happy Mum = happy bub and that starts now.
