Pregnancy is a time of change as our body and mind prepares to welcome a new baby to the world. Some anxiety in pregnancy is normal and often adaptive. In fact, many expectant parents worry about the health and wellbeing of their baby, how they will manage parenthood and how they will cope with the birth. These thoughts and feelings are understandable as we know that our minds tend to worry more about events when they are uncertain. We also know that our brains are also hardwired to pay more attention to potential threats when we are pregnant to keep ourselves and the baby safe. For some parents these worries about birth come and go, feel manageable and easy to move past.
