In pregnancy, stress can have a negative impact on your health and the health of your baby. It is beneficial to have a stress-free pregnancy and this is why guided meditation is highly recommended for nurturing yourself and your baby during pregnancy.

Women have so much to worry about during pregnancy, from concerns about the health of their unborn child, to intense morning sickness/ fatigue, to unexpected changes to their bodies and everything else! It is important to curb this feeling of anxiety and flow through this beautiful phase of your life with ease.

Guided meditation during pregnancy is so powerful as it can help release negative thoughts and feelings that can leave one uneasy for days on end.

Benefits of Meditation During Pregnancy

1. Can help reduce cortisol, which is the hormone associated with stress.
2. The deep breathing of meditation lowers heart rates and regulates blood pressure. This ignites the parasympathetic nervous system and encourages slower breathing.
3. It can quiet the mind and body while enhancing inner peace
4. Meditation increases the natural melatonin levels to help with more restful sleep.
5. May help reduce the fear of labor, decrease the use of pain relief and lower the risk of postnatal depression.

7. Reduces negative emotions.
8. Helps regulate hormonal changes that can lead to mood swings, increased appetite and nausea.
