Medicine-Natural ::: Pampering
yourself during pregnancy :::
Being pregnant is supposed to be one of the most enjoyable
times of your life. The promise of a new life, the hopes of what his or her
future will bring, the excitement over which parent your baby will look like
and what their personality will be like. Every part of it is exciting. But that
doesn't mean that the pregnancy itself isn't difficult.
You know that it is hard to be pregnant. Between the weight
gain, morning sickness, backaches, cravings, and hormones it is no wonder that
you sometimes find yourself feeling less than your best. That's why it is so
important for you to pamper and spoil yourself right now. Whether you realize
it or not, your body is under a lot of stress about creating this new life.
When you take the time to take care of yourself, you are relieving some of
those emotional stressors and fears that naturally come with pregnancy.
So how do you make yourself feel like a princess when you
have so many expenses coming your way?
For starters, you should give yourself a long, nice, warm
bath every night. Don't make it too hot of course, but you do want it to be
warm enough that it is relaxing for you. This is much easier if you have a
partner who is there to help you in and out of the tub.
Another easy way to relax is to take an hour to yourself
every night. This can be spent reading, listening to music, or just taking a
nap. What is important is that it is time that is just yours. If you have other
kids at home, have your husband take them for an hour every night so that you
can have some you time. You will be amazed at what a little private time can do
for you and how refreshed you will be when your hour is up.
Before you go to sleep every night, have your husband take
some lotion and give you a nice foot rub. Your feet take a lot of abuse during
the day and happy feet are essential to a happy life. After all, there are
pressure points in your feet that affect everything from your head to your
sexual organs. It's no wonder a good foot massage can make your whole body feel
relaxed.
But as far as feeling good, nothing beats the power of
aromatherapy. Find a good scent that you like (the calming power of lavender
for instance) and keep it with you at all times. Certain scents trigger our
minds in different ways and allow us to feel a variety of different emotions.
Once you find an aromatherapy scent that relaxes you it is also a good idea to
pack it in your hospital bag so you can have that calming scent with you in
delivery.
Remember, pregnancy is hard, but it doesn't have to be. Use
these simple tips to pamper yourself and ease all of your pregnancy
discomforts.
