Essential Self-Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a sacred time of transformation. These gentle self-care practices will help you stay connected, comfortable, and empowered throughout your journey.

Body Care

Massage: : Regular prenatal massage relieves back pain, reduces swelling, and promotes bonding with baby.

Movement: : Gentle prenatal yoga maintains strength and flexibility while preparing your body for labor.

Rest: : Honor your body's need for extra sleep and rest breaks throughout the day.

Emotional Wellbeing

Pregnancy brings up many emotions. Create space for feelings without judgment. Journaling, meditation, and connection with other mothers can be deeply supportive.

Nutrition

Focus on whole foods rich in iron, folate, and omega-3s. Stay hydrated. Listen to your body's cravings - they often signal nutritional needs.

Ask for Help

This is not a time to do everything alone. Accept support from partners, family, and professionals. At Soma, our prenatal specialists are here to support your unique journey.
