Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman’s life bit it can also be stressful, especially if there are complications, or concern about miscarriage or loss. It is important that we look after ourselves, remembering that we are growing new life within us, exercising, resting and keeping our strength up. 

We offer these suggestions based on our own experience and understanding, but what works for one person doesn’t always work for the next. So please always work with your own intuition, keep checking in and doing what feels right for you on your path to better health.
