When to start Prenatal practice?

The preferred period for a physical prenatal practice, i would say---  when you enter into the Second Trimester ( 4th month or after 12 weeks).

During the First Trimester ( first 3 months or the first 12 weeks), the hormones changes drastically, and most mums do experience morning sickness, which can even last for the whole day. Every pregnancy is unique. Some mums do get morning sickness and vomiting right till giving birth, some lucky ones do not even get it from the start. 
Once you pass the First Trimester, you can check out for the Prenatal Classes in your area--- don't be shy, you'll get to meet all other mums from everywhere. So, you're not alone:)

What to do during the First Trimester?

While the body is stabilizing in the initial stage, try to take rest as much as possible. Learn some simple deep breathing practice: The Yogic Breath ( look out  the next post)
The objective is to relax and calm the fluctuation of the body. 

A " pregnant body" is not your "usual body". Every cells sort of re-group and coming into a total new formation. Embrace the changes, and say hello to your new body!

  1. You're correct. Ideally, prenatal should start off from the second trimester and continue till delivery. I started taking prenatal classes from my fifth month and am still continuing when Im in my ninth. Hope to continue it till the d-day:)
