“Perhaps this is the body’s way of making sure that you get in tune with what lies ahead.”
Pippa says she has turned to meditation to help her in her third trimester.
“I was skeptical at first, but after practicing this discipline for the past month I have noticed a huge difference in my mental wellbeing and sense of clarity,” she writes.
“I signed up to a beginners’ meditation class recently to master the tools essential for performing it effectively,” she continues. “This involved learning to meditate twice daily, ideally for 20 minutes, chanting a mantra, while sitting upright, eyes closed and focused. Our teacher stressed that we should ensure we always make time for this because there’s always an excuse not to.
“It’s a good idea to take some wellbeing time for mummy-to-be now and, most importantly, for the future.”
