Hypnobirthing Glendale, CA:  Pregnancy and Your Body 

The hormonal roller coaster can be mild or extreme. At times, overwhelming feelings can make you feel a loss of control and security. Research shows us that stress experienced by a woman during pregnancy may affect her unborn baby as early as 17 weeks after conception. Good diet, regular rest and a good positive attitude all help the unborn baby. Having supprot, a loving partner and home is a plus as well!

It is important to remember that all pregnant mothers are liable to have mood swings. All new mommies to be will feel worried and stressed sometimes; this is perfectly natural. But prolonged and severe stressful negative feelings can affect both mother and baby.

In addition to the average person’s daily stresses, you now have elevated symptoms of stress that effect the whole you, body, mind and spirit. Stress levels increase and your ability to cope/manage them reduce during your pregnancy.

How does mothers' stress affect the unborn baby?
Stress during pregnancy and the mother's anxiety may reduce blood flow to the womb and thereby reduce the amount of oxygen and nutrients the baby receives through the placenta. Scans have shown that there is reduced blood flow to the baby in anxious mothers. Undue and prolonged mother stress can, it seems, affect the unborn fetus emotionally and physically, to that extent that its IQ can lower.

Become more attentive to yourself and your unborn baby.
Every body needs to relax regularly, to feel supported and secure. But when you are pregnant these needs take extra priority because when you are happier your baby is happier and may also be healthier. Take time to talk with people you feel safe with and make relaxation and rest an important part of your day. Every time you relax deeply your immune system works more powerfully and your heart and lungs have a healthy rest. Soothing music, warm baths, stroles and being with friends and nature, meditation and regular deep hypnotic relaxation can have a wonderful impact on your baby in the womb.

Regular and wonderfully deep relaxation while you are pregnant will free your body and mind to use available energy for restorative functions. When you relax your baby will relax. Relaxation can actually enhance the functioning of your body and mind.
