Many women find that as their bodies change during pregnancy, they find the experience at times stressful.
This is not uncommon, and further, it has been found that women who are tense during pregnancy may find their babies are tense too.
One way to assist and remedy this situation is to consciously work at relaxation.
This can be done in a variety of ways, including listening to special soothing music, or any other classical CDs, as well as concentrating on breathing exercises.
Try this little exercise alone in a quiet space daily.
Lie on the floor using pillows and cushions for back support.
Begin by tightening the muscles in your feet for a few seconds and then relaxing them. Then work your way up your body repeating this with every muscle group, i.e. calves, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, chest, arms and shoulders, and finally your face.
You should find yourself utterly relaxed at the end of this exercise - or asleep!
More information on breathing exercise is available at positive relaxation.
Massage, and also pregnancy massage for pregnant women can be very healing and calming.
It is something that can take time, and a specific effort at first, but one that is always rewarded with a little practice.
It can be more beneficial to specifically relax, as part of a busy day, as this can help you be more productive over all!
