A Happy Pregnancy
Getting a Jump Start on a Pleasant Parenthood
By Teri Brown
- Serenity: Practice some form of relaxation each day, such as meditation, guided imagery or deep breathing. Yoga is also excellent.
- Exercise: For a contented pregnancy, walk five times a week for 20 minutes to 30 minutes a day.
- Love: Join some type of community or group once a week. Join an exercise group, meditation group or a book club (it doesn't matter what kind of group it is). Studies show us this has great health benefits.
- Food: Eat high-quality food such as colorful fresh fruits and vegetables and foods with high levels of antioxidants. Make sure your protein levels are high. Your vital organs demand it and you have a baby that requires it.
- Play and laugh: We know that you produce healing hormones when you laugh and play. There is actually a science to happiness and its benefit to you and your baby. Keep games around, such as dart boards or board games, rent funny movies or play with family, friends or your dog.
