Pregnancy-related discomforts can be stressful,
especially if a pregnant woman attempts to
accomplish everything she did prior to pregnancy.
A pregnant woman can help reduce her stress by
recognizing that these symptoms are temporary and
that there are ways to cope with them. Mood
swings are common and normal so a pregnant
woman need not be over-concerned about them.
Yoga is defined as a tool for achieving positive
health. Yoga practiced by pregnant woman seems to
reflect this positive health on the fetus on
utero. Yoga brings about stress reduction and
helps in reducing the occurrence of
complications, through a balanced effective
blood flow in the utero-placental circulation.
