Reply to "Reducing Toxic Stress in Pregnancy"

I only have personal experience to go on here, but what if we “flip the switch” and change how you view stress during your pregnancy? Instant of focusing on the negative impact stressful moments *could* possibly have, why not focus on the strength and resiliency your child is getting. Maybe that little body is becoming an expert at regulating cortisol?

In addition, try doing some heavy work each day. I found that lifting weights at the gym for 30 minutes (or even light weights at home with a youtube video) have helped calm my anxiety.

Big hugs and know that you are going to be a great momma! I can tell you already love this baby immensely.
