Fertility and Pregnancy: Is Your Lifestyle Sustainable?

Before we inhale we exhale. There is a natural exchange as we make room for the new breath.

However, in terms of fertility and pregnancy, we often expect everything to function perfectly without any changes in our life.

We might have made physical changes…e.g. stopped using contraceptives, started IVF treatment or even begun a pregnancy but we often forget about creating emotional space.

A successful pregnancy is not just about the physical process of becoming pregnant and maintaining the pregnancy. It also requires emotional resources.

Often however, we are mothering others (adults) and don’t actually have the emotional fuel available for any more nurturing.

Where is your emotional energy going now and is that really compatible with sustaining a pregnancy and having the experience of pregnancy and birth that you really want?

What would you change if you could? How can you begin to do that now?
