    Manage Stress, Anxiety, and Uncertainty

    It’s normal to feel nervous about this big newness in your life. Your mind races, wondering about all of the “what ifs” in preconception, pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. And although you know you can’t control your experience, you also can’t turn off the part of you that wants to. Meditation can help you feel more at peace with your path, wherever it leads.
