Are you listening to your body? What is trying to tell you? Not quite sure? Then take a two-minute retreat from your day and listen, really listen. If you can, sit down somewhere comfortable and close your eyes. Breathe in slow and deep... breathe out just as long. Relax and try to quiet your stray thoughts. When you're ready, do a quick self-check of your body from head to toe. Are your feet sore? Are you hungry? Do you need to go outside? See something beautiful? Do you need a mental break from what you are doing? A physical break?
Sometimes women find it easier to sit down, close their eyes and ask their baby what they need. What do you need right now, little one? Spinach salad with strawberries, red onions, feta and raspberry dressing? A tummy rub? A nap with your mama?
Whatever you discover, make an effort to try and do what your body needs - what your baby needs. You'll be a happier, content mama with a happier, content baby.

Someone directed me here in a comment on my blog. I have been having severe anxiety as I lost my last baby after 19 days. I am newly pregnant and struggling. I'm even finding it hard to bond with this little life inside me for fear of more loss.
I read just this post when I got here and felt a bit better, felt like I can look within and find the strength to get through. I am so glad to have found this blog. You can be sure that I will be back ;)
