Quality Time For The Family

When you talk about hopes and dreams and fears and longings and your secret desires – especially in an intimate setting – that’s intimacy – and it boosts that special partnership connection between a man and a woman and keeps them emotionally close. Many couples keep asking themselves how they can make their relationship better. How can a relationship grow in worth? Would you like to know? 

It’s super simple. How does real estate for example grow in worth? Exactly. Through appreciation! So what do we have to do to make our relationship worth more? Yes!! We have to APPRECIATE IT! It’s so easy! 

But how can we appreciate our relationship? Here are some examples: 

  • Telling your partner how much you appreciate him and what you appreciate about him. Men usually like it when their lady goes into details. Telling him what things he does and how amazing they make you feel, inturn makes him feel like your hero. 
  • Sharing with friends, family and others how happy you are about your relationship. 
  • Writing little love notes to your man. 

Appreciating each other may be done by making time in order to show how much you care for one another and how much you are willing to connect and be intimate in your relationship. Making time to be with your man can bring a lot of joy as this pregnancy is your and your partner’s journey, too. How to initiate those quality times? Just tell him often enough how much you love spending time with him and how much you would like to do it again sometime soon and be amazed with what happens. 

Here are some articles that help you see what kind of difference it makes for a baby if the father shows a lot of love during pregnancy or not.

Walk With Your Baby

You can take some time out to bond with your baby bump by going for a walk. It’s great exercise and easy to fit into your daily routine, even if you’re working. Going for a stroll gives you space to think about your growing baby without too many distractions or interruptions. Going without your phone or with your phone on silent without vibration can really buy you some privacy by the way. 

You can even have a chat with your baby bump as you go. Taking comfortable walks is especially recommendable if you didn’t do much exercise before you became pregnant. Doing moderate exercises can be a blessing for mother and baby, because the fitter your body is, the easier your birth will be.

Joy Shared By Two

Joy oil can help bring joy to the family. 

When things go a little weird in the relationship, you can diffuse it when your partner is around. Put 3-5 drops of Joy oil in your diffuser and press on. Joy oil can help restore harmony in an untuned relationship. 

You can also use it as a perfume for her. Men love the scent! Just apply a few drops to your chest and neck. Caution with sunlight! Don’t use Joy oil 12 hours prior to being exposed to direct sunlight. Evenings and cloudy days are perfect. Or applying it under some clothes, where direct sunlight doesn’t arrive.

The Magic Of Deep Breathing

Your breath is a phenomenal bridge between the conscious and unconscious because the respiratory system is both voluntary and involuntary. You don’t have to remind yourself to breathe, it just happens. But when we are mindful of our breathing we can tap into energy in the unconscious realm. Whatever state you are in, your breath will follow. If you are anxious your breath will be quick and shallow, if you are calm and relaxed your breath will be long and deep. You can also breathe to encourage different states. If you want the breath to take you to a relaxed state you can start breathing long deep full breaths and it will send signals to the brain to calm you down. This is very helpful for birthing women because the deep breath along with the sound enhances the trance state during labor. 

Ways to incorporate deep breathing include bringing soothing familiar scents into the room and taking long slow deep full inhales and exhales. I love having my diffuser with frankincense or gentle baby oil running when giving birth. The smell just invites me to breathe well.

Language Of Encouragement

Courage is feeling the fear and rising to the occasion anyway. When we encourage with loving words we help ourselves to move beyond fear, keep the faith and keep on moving. 

Here are some encouraging things you can tell yourself for birth: 

  • My body is wise and knows how to birth my baby. I am beautiful and strong.
  • I surrender to the waves and willingly let them roll over me as they come.
  • My baby trusts me, I trust my baby and we trust this process.

Thieves Aromabright Toothpaste

During pregnancy, hormonal changes can increase the acidity in the mouth, leading to an increase in cavities. This also can be due to an increased sugar intake caused by cravings and a decrease in attention to preventive dental care. This doesn’t increase tooth loss, but it can be alarming. Good dental hygiene is even more important during pregnancy.

Mothers may have sensitive teeth during pregnancy. But that’s ok. Thieves Aromabright Toothpaste may support a healthy dental feeling. This toothpaste cleanses and polishes teeth safely, while premium essential oils provide a refreshing, minty-sweet taste and long-lasting fresh breath.

After each meal, brush your teeth and feel fresh!
