But I seriously want to shower kisses and cookies on my chiropractor and massage therapist. They're both amazing women who know the pregnant body and mind well and have seriously delivered me from major pain and tension. Invaluable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420579 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:10:51 +0000 DillonLion 420579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved prenatal yoga !!

I always "forget" to breathe and since doing prenatal yoga I've been a lot more conscious of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420413 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:15:54 +0000 aprk 420413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I did a six week course, although lots of people recommend to try a drop in to see if you like it.</p> <p>@knittylady: @sslm: thanks! I feel happy for the first time in weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420410 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:14:04 +0000 sslm 420410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it yet but plan to!! I'm having pretty vicious back pain at 21 weeks, I'm hoping it'll help!</p> <p>So glad you got some relief :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420407 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:13:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 420407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great! Did you have to sign up for a multi session class or could you drop in? Just curious how it usually works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420402 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:12:29 +0000 knittylady 420402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to my first prenatal yoga class tonight too! It was amazing and made me realize how out of shape I've become since the BFP. Definitely want to keep this up!</p> <p>Glad it helped you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-yoga-im-in-love#post-420392 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:09:13 +0000 aprk 420392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A quick bit of backstory: I have been having real trouble breathing since I'm so short waisted. At 23 weeks the baby is well into my ribs and stressing my lungs and diaphragm. The shortness of breath really affects me at night, to the point where I wake up in a panic and can't rest or relax for hours.</p> <p>Tonight, I went to a prenatal yoga class, and I can see light at the end of the tunnel!! After a few minutes of guided breathing I could feel myself relax (at first it actually made me nervous to close my eyes because it reminded me of the anxiety of sleeping), which was a blessing. An hour of stretching and I feel like a new woman!</p> <p>I know I have to keep it up, but I feel so much lighter. And hopeful that the next few months won't be so torturous.</p> <p>Have you tried yoga, or anything else that was your pregnancy miracle? </p>
