Its normal for women to worry during pregnancy, but being unduly anxious can spoil this precious time. By using mindfulness techniques you can stay in the present, learn to accept and handle your feelings and thoughts, and become more in tune with your changing body and developing baby. Sarah Rudell Beachs simple techniques can be incorporated easily into everyday life, helping you to become aware of your lifestyle: Are you taking on too much Do you need to slow down The more formal meditations help you to shut out the outside world, quieten your mind, and be at one with your unborn baby to strengthen that special bond. There are mindfulness techniques to help you approach labour and birth without fear and handle each stage moment by moment. Finally, Sarah shows how mindfulness practices learnt during pregnancy can be taken into motherhood, so that you can live in the moment with your new baby.
