Tip #1
If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety during pregnancy, do not keep it to yourself. Make sure you tell your partner or a family member, so that they can help you deal with it by emotionally supporting you.
Tip #2
You can keep a diary or a journal and write your thoughts in it. Research says that penning down your feelings can make you feel lighter and help you understand your cluttered thoughts better.
Tip #3
Maintain a regular exercise routine that is mild and relaxing, after consulting with your doctor. Exercise helps in regulating the hormonal imbalance and also helps in releasing endorphins that can improve your mood.
Tip #4
Practice breathing techniques, yoga and meditation for at least 30 minutes every day. Studies say that abdominal breathing exercises can help relax your muscles and also calm your nerves to a great extent.
Tip #5
Ensure that you get plenty of rest, especially after your 2nd trimester starts, as your belly would be growing in size and your body utilises more energy to keep your baby healthy. Not getting enough rest can also lead to fatigue-induced anxiety.
Tip #6
Involve yourself in a hobby that is safe to be indulged in during pregnancy, for example, drawing, painting, singing, etc. Keeping yourself occupied will help you take your mind off things and reduce anxiety.
Tip #7
Seek professional help when needed. If the symptoms of your anxiety are unbearable, do visit a professional and make sure you take all the steps to help get out of the depression and anxiety.
