Mindful doesn’t mean the ‘mind’ being ‘full’. It means quite the opposite! Fears? Toxic people? Unwanted advice? Work stress? These need to be drained out of your mind like pus needs to be drained from a boil. The right way to do it: practicing mindfulness. Approximately 70% to 80% of women experience some level of low moods in pregnancy. 80% of pregnant women report anxiety around the process of birth. When your mind is anxious, the baby is affected! In one study, it was found that highly stressed mums can pass on familial diseases to the baby. In another study, it was found that a good practice of mindfulness lead to increased mother-foetal attachment that increased baby’s weight, IQ and social skills. In fact, if you wish to read about weekly development of the baby, here are our blogs: https://www.imumz.com/blog Engaging in these practices increase mindfulness: Guided Meditation Harmonising Music Talk to Baby and Story-telling (Baby Bonding activities) Breathing and Yoga Asanas Eating with gratitude Let iMumz help you with a mindful pregnancy. iMumz never puts up content without a thorough medical review.

Wouldn’t you just love it if your own gynae talked a lot? Addressed all your questions?
