"Feeling stressed is common during pregnancy because pregnancy is a time of many changes," according to March of Dimes. "Your family life, your body and your emotions are changing. You may welcome these changes, but they can add new stresses to your life."
High stress during pregnancy may cause problems. "High levels of stress that continue for a long time may cause health problems, like high blood pressure and heart disease," says the March of Dimes. "During pregnancy, stress can increase the chances of having a baby who is preterm (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or a low-birthweight baby (weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces). Babies born too soon or too small are at increased risk for health problems."
While coloring may not get rid of all your stress, it can help! Coloring is a mindfulness activity, and "is a healthy way to relieve stress. It calms the brain and helps your body relax. This can improve sleep and fatigue while decreasing body aches, heart rate, respiration and feelings of depression and anxiety."
So, Mom-to-be, print out these free pregnancy coloring pages, crab some colored pencils or even crayons, and get to coloring. Breathe. You deserve some "me time" before that sweet baby arrives!
