If you are experiencing a challenging pregnancy, or a pregnancy following reproductive loss, and wish to maximize your chances for delivering a healthy, full-term baby…
When there is a history of miscarriages or other losses, or you are faced with pregnancy complications, this brings understandable fears. So many unknowns, so much at stake. But mounting research shows that stress in pregnancy can seriously affect fetal development (more). In fact, researchers now find that the specific kind of stress that has the most negative impact upon fetal development and birth outcomes is pregnancy-related fears and anxieties.
This can also apply to the mother who is highly fearful during the period of “amnio limbo,” when she’s waiting for test results… or who is faced with ambiguous test results… or put on bed-rest. You name it—there are lots of scenarios with the potential to instill stress and anxiety during pregnancy.
But what a vicious cycle! If you know that fear and anxiety are bad for your baby and can contribute to complications… that just causes more fear, and more chance for complications!!
You can conquer that vicious cycle by empowering yourself with understanding and resources. QUANTUM PARENTING combines traditional spiritual principles and practical daily steps to help you transcend the vicious cycle of pregnancy fears and anxieties. More than that, you can experience the bliss that is possible even in the most challenging pregnancy.
