Relaxation Tips

Throughout pregnancy it is a good idea to take a few minutes every evening to completely unwind from the day's events. Here are a few tips:

• Lie on your sofa or bed with your legs resting on two pillows. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
  
  
• Dim the lights or light a candle and take a warm bath scented with your favorite bath salts.
  
  
• If weather permits, sit outdoors in a comfortable chair and sip a cup of tea or glass of cool lemonade.
  
  
• Dress comfortably, put on your tennis shoes, and take a walk in the fresh air.
  
  
• Browse in a bookstore and pick up a good book.
  
  
• Listen to your favorite music. Your baby will enjoy it, too!
