Meditation During Pregnancy?

I am a yoga teacher, that ironically suffers from anxiety! Since I found out a week and a half ago that I am pregnant, I have been meditating nightly. I found this helps keep me in a positive mind frame. Anyone else doing this?

    I do yoga, which includes meditation.  You sound like a great candidate for Hypnobabies or Hypnobirthing.  Check them out!

    I will check it out! Thanks!

     You may like the book "Magical Beginnings and Enchanted Lives" by Deepak Chopra, if you are enjoying your yoga and meditation!  I have loved the way  he talks about the body creating a new spirit.

    I've heard that it's pretty good for you so I'm going to a class next week to see if it's my thing. I'm pretty anxious all around so I'm hoping it'll calm me down a little.

    I've been doing walking meditation for years. I've never been able to do sitting meditation without coming out of it grumpy/crabby.

    If you search on Amazon.com you can find a visualization CD for pregnancy and 36 week meditations for bonding with your baby to use at home as well. I have the Cd, but do not have the 36 week meditation book yet, still waiting for it to arrive. I also found journaling everyday is helpful.
