If you are pregnant congratulations and if you are thinking about it then I hope you’ll find few things on here helpful.
Pregnancy can be scary for some and exciting for the others. For some it was an accident and you might have mixed feelings about it, especially if you don’t have a loving partner or not enough support. One of the most important things is to bring your body and mind in to a healthy state. Now days we seem to have many apps designed to get us out of a certain state. I have tried Curable and BrainWays. For every person its different but try to work out your issues either with a good therapist or books before you get pregnant so you don’t pass your stress on to your child. Curable app could actually take you deeper and help you with your traumas.
Depending on how toxic your body is, you might feel very sick after a month or so. It’s a good time to clean your refrigerator and pantry from foods that have additives, preservatives and unhealthy ingredients. Where ever you are at the moment, just do your best for your body and your baby. Do much research about toxic chemicals, baby food, breastfeeding, toxic mattresses and formaldehyde in clothing, paint, food coloring, food additives. There is a lot to learn and relearn. The best thing is to remember not to panic but to take one step at a time.
If you are not pregnant but thinking about it then I would encourage you to ask yourself some questions. Questions like: Is my body ready to carry a baby? Am I healthy enough to carry and nourish my baby for nine months in the womb and then nurse him/her for at least a year after it's born? What is the reason that I want to have a baby? Is it because I am lonely? Is it for security reasons? Or because babies are cute? Or are you ready to give life to a human being that can be there change and light in this world? Most people don't think about asking themselves a question or two but it's so important. Babies are not just another thing it's a unique and special life brought in to the world that can help make this world a beautiful place. Raising children is a very hard work meaning you put your life aside and your life will be now you and your child. Not bars, friends, outings, parties, social events, traveling with your husband. No from this moment on its you and your child together until he is ready to get on his feet and live alone. It doesn’t mean you have to be with him by his side for 18 years but it does mean she/he will need you for 18 years until he decides what to do with his life and all those years he will need your love, your support, your money, your encouragement, your attention. It is not easy and those who say its fun and easy maybe they didn’t do it the right way. Because parenting is a sacrifice. If you are not ready to sacrifice to give up the life you live, and to give up your job temporary than maybe its time to think again. A child is a living, breathing, being that needs to be nurtured and cared for until they learn to live on their own. A child should never be for your benefit or your caretaker when you get old or for your emotional and financial support.
I absolutely support natural way of parenting, I found this website and I thought it could be very helpful on your journey. https://raisedgood.com
