Tips for relaxing?

Question

I've been having some unpleasant shortness of breath the past 3 days. I'm not sure if it's brought on by anxiety or what but I know for sure it is made worse by anxiety. I will definitely ask my doctor but I wanted to know if any other mamas had advice for taming anxiety & worry.

Answer

Acupuncture I swear by it. It's kept me sane the last couple of weeks. I had a mc in August so everything I feel is making me nervous

Answer

I found a video on youtube by Katy Appleton for prenatal yoga that I found incredibly helpful. It is a gentle exercise and during it she instructs you on breath flow.

I am having trouble sleeping due to, among other things my anxiety. I feel like the video helped me with that.

Also try square breathing (google for instructions or video).

I am sorry you are anxious right now. I sympathize!

Answer

Shortness of breath can be a sign of blood clots in the lungs. Pregnancy causes women to coagulate more, increasing there chance of clots. I don't want you to freak out but this does happen so monitor it and do let your doctor know
