How do I decrease my stress levels while I’m pregnant?
Stress is never good for us, but when we’re pregnant it is even more important to reduce stress levels, as we now have our baby to consider also. If you work in a stressful job, think about a change or taking on less stressful duties. Finish work as early as is practical in your circumstances so you have plenty of time to relax and prepare for the upcoming birth. Find relaxing pastimes, such as yoga, meditation, gardening etc.
See the article below about relaxation during pregnancy. Consider listening to meditation CDs, or specially designed tracks for pregnancy, such as the ‘Pregnancy Relaxation’ Natal Hypnotherapy CD, which you can find at:

Try to avoid stressful situations as much as possible, as stress release adrenalin into the system and can cause a stress reaction in the baby also. Find things that make you ‘Feel good’ instead as this releases endorphins, creating the opposite effect.
