You are half way through your pregnancy. The first half may have felt like it crawled by, but most people feel like the last half flies by. It’s important to nurture your experience, and prioritize your body, mind, and heart in this transformational season as you prepare for birth.

Learning to relax is actually a skill. We’ve provided this article to give you some insights about learning to relax. Strategic relaxation is one tool that you can use if you struggle with anxiety and depression in pregnancy and after birth. Please read the article on anxiety and depression whether you struggle with those or not, so you can be ready if you need them. The 3rd article this month is about your blood pressure.

Even if you don’t have high blood pressure, this article explains a little bit more about using food / hydration and movement to support your wellbeing.
