Good morning Jennifer

I am currently reading a book called sacred rest and although I am not pregnant I am looking after an elderly parent with dementia so I have to be aware of them 24/7 make sure food clothing nappies etc are in place. I also talk to him  as if he understands me. so when a rare moment of lucidity occurs my voice is a source of comfort, sometimes I just read aloud to him.

There are also DVD on Amazon on Yoga pregnancy birth & afterwards.

I hope others will reply and give you more  ideas & support. Blessings to you & your little one.

I enjoy Richard Wagamese – Embers, One Ojibway’s Meditations

Short little meditations on life I found helpful in centering and contemplation.

Life is Sometimes hard. There are challenges. There are difficulties. There is pain. As a younger man, I sought to avoid pain and difficulty and only caused myself more of the same. these days, I choose to face life head-on —
and I have become a comet. I arc across the sky of my life, the hard times are the friction that shaves off the worn and tired bits. The more I travel head-on, the more I am shaped, and the things that no longer work or are unnecessary drop away.
It’s a good way to travel. I believe eventually I will wear away all resistance, until all that’s left of me is light.

This meditation I came across when I was missing my Mother

Me: I miss my mother sometimes. Really bad.
Old Woman: Maybe try missing her really well.
Me: How do I do that?
Old Woman: See that sunrise? See how beautiful the colours are? How clar and clean the air feels? How good it fels inside of you?
Me; Yes. It’s wonderful.
Old Woman: She lives in that. So maybe just say, ‘Thanks, Mom” when you see and feel things like that.
