How can I manage to take care of myself as a mom?
Not only does your body need extra care and attention during pregnancy, but your mental well-being also plays an important role. During pregnancy, the hormone balance changes. This can affect your mood, perception, and emotional life.
Self-care & mental well-being during pregnancy
Hormonal fluctuations can cause you to feel full of energy one day and exhausted and emotional the next. Many women experience a special sensitivity during pregnancy: you perceive things more intensely, react more emotionally, and may occasionally have moments of feeling overwhelmed. But don’t worry, you are not alone in this.
Our Tip
Talk about your feelings – with your partner, your midwife, friends, or other pregnant women. Often, it can be incredibly relieving to share and realize that others are having similar experiences.
In addition, established rituals, such as the daily belly massage with our lavera Mama Care Pregnancy Oil, can help you consciously pause and relax. These moments of mindfulness give you calm, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance. Furthermore, the daily massage and gentle touches also strengthen the bond with your baby.
Self-care during pregnancy means listening to your body, treating yourself to small rituals, and allowing yourself to accept help. Your well-being is the foundation for a healthy pregnancy – for you and your baby.
