Having a Baby

The health triangle contains three aspects of health; mental, physical and emotional. When one part of your health triangle becomes unstable your entire health balance crumbles. Stress is one of the main reasons health may decline. When people think of stress they think of mental stress. However, physical stress can also occur and is quite common for new mothers.

When you experience stress your body reacts to it in order to protect itself. Your body releases hormones and chemicals to help manage you stress. These chemicals are not necessarily good for your body. Therefore, you should manage your stress wisely, especially when it comes to physical stress from carrying infants. There are several ways to manage your physical stress from carrying your newborn baby. Please try to understand shifting your child from hip to hip, or even hip to shoulder does not reduce physical stress. By changing positions you add more stress, this stress builds up across different places of your body.
