A story about the power of prenatal exercise from a past client (who gave permission for it to be shared in Feng Shui Mommy and here :) “Exercise kept me from having an emotional breakdown. I never experienced morning sickness, just morning-meltdowns. I would wake up each day feeling like the weight of humanity was pressing on my chest and I would cry — not cute tears, loud wracking sobs. I called my care provider on one of these mornings, after cracking open an egg with a double yoke (I was eating twins!) My midwife was busy, but her receptionist recommended I take a walk around the block. I walked around my block, then another and another until I stopped crying and felt energized. Exercise had never been “my thing” before, but it was the only act that could quell my unexplained sadness. I began walking two miles every morning, sometimes crying, sometimes not. After a few weeks, the aching emotion in my chest was replaced by a light and expanded sensation. Now, when my baby cries, I strap her to my chest and we walk.” . . . . #prenatalexercise #birthingtips #birthcompanion #childbirth #childbirtheducation #childbirthpreparation #childbirthclasses #childbirtheducator #childbirtheducators #childbirthprep #childbirtheducationclass #childbirthsupport #childbirthed #laboranddelivery #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnant #pregnantlife
Your pelvic floor knows what’s up, and how to keep it there. It supports your uterus, bladder, small intestines, and rectum, and is important to keep strong. However, it's equally important to know how to relax and release it, espeically as you near childbirth. Here's some tips for practicing that crucial pelvic floor exercise: • Identify your pelvic floor muscles by stopping your stream of urine mid-flow (release after a few seconds). • Focus on pulling the pelvic floor muscles in and up, hold for the count of ten, and then fully release to the count of ten. • During release, be cognizant of the sensation of relaxing these muscles and take a mental note of how you’re releasing them. The full release is the sensation you’ll want to focus on during birth. • Maintain smooth and easy breathing during reps (slowly inhaling with the intake of muscles, and exhaling with the release). • Do ten sets, three times a day. • Meditate on the results you seek to gain during each kegel (e.g., effective birth surges, comfortable labor, intact perineum, etc.). . . . . #kegels #pelvicfloorexercise #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvisfloor #birthingtips #birthcompanion #childbirtheducation #childbirthpreparation #childbirthclasses #childbirtheducator #childbirtheducators #childbirthprep #childbirtheducationclass #childbirthsupport #childbirthed #laboranddelivery #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnant #pregnantlife
Are you having a tricky time with the whole prenatal bonding thing? If so, try the following meditation. -Turn on womb sounds (just Google "womb sounds"), slip into a warm bath, close your eyes and envision yourself as your baby, floating in the womb. -Connect to what life must be like for she or he and envision a loving golden light traveling from your heart to your womb. You might even receive some special messages from baby during this bonding exercise :) . . . #prenatalbonding #prenatalmeditation #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnant #pregnantlife
