HOLISTIC PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Pregnancy is a time of new experiences, feelings and senses. Some women love it, some will find it a very challenging time.
You will have to come to terms with a whole new world of physical and emotional sensations while getting on with the constants of modern day life. Such as work, family and friends etc.
Women usually don’t talk about their pregnancy for the 3 first months, fearing a miscarriage. So they live with the anxiety of possibly losing the baby, morning sickness is likely and perhaps a working full time job in stressful environment. All this and the challenge of hiding such momentous and glorious news from family, friends, colleagues and the boss.
Of course at this point, medical support is limited since miscarriages are common. It would appear that the medical fraternity don’t get involved before the pregnancy is confirmed at 12 weeks.
In the meantime, it is a life changing time for a woman to deal with, mostly on her own. It will often feel as though all of the ups and downs she experiences in this transformational phase go largely ignored by the rest of socie.
Then, after 3 months of pregnancy, some women will experience a very uneventful time until birth. They will enjoy the bond between themselves and the baby(ies). The period from 3 months to 8 months offers different experiences for different women. For some, it is largely uneventful allowing the mother-to-be time to connect with her body, the baby(ies) and the bond between them. For others, the anxiety is ever present with morning sickness and other aches and pains in the hips and lower back thrown in for good measure.
From 8 months onwards, the impeding birth brings with it new fears when coming to grips with the reality that, “the baby has to come out somehow!” Along with the ever growing list of aches and pains, physical and emotional changes.Pregnancy can be both a wonderful and terrifying experience, a bit like a very long rollercoaster on speed!
