And I wonder what you are doing today? I have been out and about talking to pregnant women and getting amazing results in having them feel good about themselves.. and in pregnancy that makes all the difference, recent studies have shown that our ancestors nutrition and lifestyle has an effect on the genes that they have passed down… so not only are you what you eat…. so are your children… and so on The British journal of psychiatry.

it says that keeping preggy mum happy and well nourished leads to better birthweight
Cortisol is the fright flight or fight hormone we get it from stress, while we need a little of it every day to get us out of bed and doing stuff, too much too regularly makes the blood sticky, this means it is harder to get the oxygen and nutrients through to baby because guess what? baby is not a body organ and is not as important as the heart, liver and bits that belong to mama so blood will be drawn away from the uterus in a highly stressful situation so that mama can fight off a tiger… or such things
Our bodies look after us first and that means babies are second, so when we are living our l indulging in stress and are pregnant at the same time… the little ones are bathed on our emotions so make sure that you want the baby, sit quietly and thank it from time to time for just being there and allow the love you feel for it and for you to flood your systems, your baby will feel this and respond by growing even more healthily than before
Be Well
