Positive Thoughts for a Healthy Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time when the whole family feels elated. But, for the mother, it is a time when she witnesses many changes taking place inside, both physically and mentally. So, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Let us read some tips to stay positive during pregnancy.

As emotions of the pregnant women affect the baby a lot, the mother and even the entire family should take some necessary steps as follows.

1. Hearing pleasant music will induce pleasure in mother that tends to release happiness hormones like endorphins which helps the baby to be stress-free and grow in a relaxed state.
2. Seeing green environment (full of plants, trees, and flowers) will help you be relaxed. Your baby sees the world through your eyes before being born. So, it will give a comfort feeling to the baby as well.
3. Meditating or simply even closing your eyes and visualizing or feeling the positiveness of being happy, healthy and peaceful or talking to your unborn baby will make both the mother as well as baby feel enthusiastic about their relationship and the baby will respond to the mother as well. This, in turn, creates more joy to the mother.
4. Baby shower, a celebration to welcome the baby to the world, and to welcome the lady to motherhood. This occasion makes the mother feel very happy about her pregnancy and gives her a comfort zone and makes her feel the love of her family and friends, which makes the baby feel secure.
5. Start reading positive-vibe books. You can also read parenthood books and feel yourself becoming very positive about being a good parent which will make your baby very confident once he/she comes to the outside world.
6. There is no need to worry about the delivery process as it becomes very easy for you and your baby once you are confident about yourself and your health. Talking to your baby positively will automatically set you to have a normal delivery.

        So, the main theme from many studies is, when a pregnant woman is stressed, stress hormones like cortisol are released, which affects herself and her baby a lot and may even cause a lot of psychological, neurological, and endocrine problems. And the converse also holds true. When a pregnant woman is very happy, relaxed, and in a peaceful state, her pleasure hormones are released and it tends to make the baby grow healthy, confident, and a happy person in the future.
