Pregnancy is both an amazing state of expectation of the birth of a little man, and new sensations, and a considerable load on the body and nervous system. Staying calm during pregnancy is essential for the health of your unborn baby. Avoiding all stressful situations, of course, will not work, so it is important to learn how to respond to them correctly and calm down in time.
Instructions
Step 1
During pregnancy, communication with loved ones usually goes to a different level - everyone is trying to please the expectant mother, worried, trying to help. However, these efforts do not always coincide with the wishes of the pregnant woman. In order not to get annoyed once again because of a ridiculous gift or useless advice, discuss your wishes and needs with your family. Explain to your husband that it is difficult for you to get home in the evening, and ask him to meet you. Write to future grandparents a list of necessary things so that they choose only useful gifts for the baby. Be kind to your loved ones - they worry too.
Step 2
Choose someone with whom you can share any concerns and fears. It can be the child's father, mother, sister, girlfriend. Calm and confidential conversation is the best way to stay calm during pregnancy.
Step 3
Learn to abstract from unpleasant conversations at work, in antenatal clinics, do not pay attention to rudeness and other negativity outside the walls of the house. Try to imagine yourself inside an impenetrable cocoon, where it is warm and safe, and all the negativity directed at you breaks against its walls. As soon as an unpleasant situation arises, "move" into a safe cocoon and remain serene.
Step 4
Allow yourself an emotional outburst if it is impossible to stay calm. In some situations, it is better to throw out negative emotions than to accumulate in yourself day after day. Negativeness held back for a long time will hurt the child more than 5 minutes of tears.
Step 5
Regularity and routine help to stay calm during pregnancy. Try to go to bed, get up and eat at the same time, walk every day, do not overwork at work, eat healthy foods, and do not overuse medications.
Step 6
Massage, gymnastics for pregnant women, yoga, favorite music, warm bath, hobbies will help you to restore your calmness and relax after a hard day. If you love art, visit exhibitions, museums, theaters. Cosmetic procedures also help to calm down - manicure, pedicure, face masks, wraps.
Step 7
Stress and nervousness in a pregnant woman may appear due to a lack of knowledge. If you are tormented by any questions regarding pregnancy and childbirth, ask your doctor, look for the answer in the medical literature. Limit frightening information at the same time. If you have a friend who loves to talk about the "horrors" of childbirth in colors, ask her not to touch on this topic.
Step 8
Try to see only the good in everything. Enjoy the warming sun, refreshing rain, beautiful flowers. To keep track of these little things, walk slower, do not fuss or twitch. Pregnancy is often one of a woman's best memories. Enjoy this state!
