The Benefits of Tapping During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is such a huge time of transformation, and it’s completely normal to have anxieties and worries along the way. Your body is busy intuitively building your baby, and your brain is going through more changes than at any other stage in your life — phew, that’s a lot!
During both of my pregnancies, I found EFT Tapping to be a gentle, powerful tool that helped me navigate the ups and downs in so many ways. Here’s how it helped me:
How Tapping Can Support You During Pregnancy
Calm racing thoughts: Tapping helped keep me calm on the days my mind would start spinning.
Process fears about your baby: It helped me work through worries about whether my baby was safe and growing in the right way.
Boost confidence as a parent: Tapping supported me in becoming a parent for the first time, and managing the worries I had about being a mum of two.
Process emotions: It was a gentle way to work through all the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy.
Connect with your body: Tapping helped me tune into and deeply connect with my changing body.
Prepare for a C-section: During my first pregnancy, my baby was breech, and I had a planned C-section. Tapping helped me process my fears around surgery.
Overcome self-doubt in birth: Tapping supported me in trusting my body and ultimately helped me have a truly magical, natural birth with my second baby.
Navigate postpartum haze: When I was exhausted and figuring out parenting for the first time, tapping helped me stay grounded.
Energise your nervous system: On days of extreme sleep deprivation, tapping helped me feel steadier and more present.
Reduce anxiety overall: By keeping anxiety at bay, I was able to show up as a calmer, more confident mother.
