I used to meditate and do a bit of pranayam before pregnancy and it really helped my anxiety. Now im 2 months along and not sure if I should continue, some breathing techniques feel a bit intense. Anyone here kept it up safely?
Yes and honestly meditation was a lifesaver for my anxiety during pregnancy. Even ten quiet minutes of breathing calmed my racing thoughts. It is gentle and safe, just sit comfortably and dont strain yourself.
I did guided meditation along with prenatal yoga that my doctor cleared, and the combo felt wonderful. Meditation has no risk, it is just breathing and relaxing. Just avoid lying flat on your back in later months for long sessions.
Meditation kept me so peaceful and connected to my baby. I would sit quietly each morning and just breathe. It really helps you stay positive, give it a try.
