Emotional Balance

If you haven’t heard it at least a dozen times by now, believe us: Pregnancy is an amazing time with a slew of emotions. With a confusing mix of excitement, anticipation and worry, it’s sometimes a wonder how one is supposed to stay sane in the midst of mood swings and stress.
The natural stress and strain that occurs as your body adapts to your pregnancy can cause well-known symptoms like morning sickness and nausea, but may also lead to radical changes in mood and overall drive.

Profound changes in your hormonal “control system” are necessary for your pregnancy to progress successfully. During this time, your immune system must develop a tolerance to the partially genetically-foreign tissue of your baby, which is not possible without some significant changes occurring all the way down to the cellular level.

Many women experience pregnancy as a happy and satisfying time. Undoubtedly a harmonious environment, both social and psychological, plays a big role in making this possible. Finding an emotional balance is an essential part of both your health and wellbeing and that of your baby.
