Dear growing mama,
"I used to dance daily," Emma told me during her first pregnancy check-up. Now I'm afraid to move." Her words echoed what many expectant mothers feel—the delicate balance between staying active and being cautious.
Today, I want to share how Emma found her rhythm again and how you can.
Emma discovered that pregnancy wasn't about stopping the dance but learning new steps. Some days, that meant swaying gently to her favorite music in the living room. On other days, it meant swimming with a grace she never knew she had. "In the water," she says, "my body remembers its strength."
Through each trimester, Emma's movement story evolved:
Early days were about morning walks when the world was quiet
Midway through, she found joy in prenatal yoga, connecting with her changing body
In the final months, gentle swimming became her meditation
But the most beautiful part? Emma's daughter now dances with the same free spirit her mother rediscovered during pregnancy. "We have dance parties in the kitchen," Emma laughs. "She'll never know how much those moments mean to me."
Your body carries ancient wisdom. Listen to its whispers, move with its rhythm, and remember – you're dancing for two now.
