Go with the flow

Let the flow bring you to your dreams.

Pregnancy is a journey that can be compared to floating down a river. At times, there may be rocks or obstacles that come in the way, but the larger flow eventually brings me to my destination.

Thinking about pregnancy as a river journey has helped me understand that there will be moments of discomfort or uncertainty, but these are just rocks in the river that may slow me down from time to time but that my boat will naturally navigate around. This visualization has helped me to let go of my need for control and perfectionism.

I have learned to trust my body and its natural rhythms, rather than trying to control every aspect of the pregnancy process. When I let go of my need for control, I feel more at peace and connected to my body and my baby.

Of course, every pregnancy is different, and there may be unexpected challenges that arise. But just like on a river journey, I know that the larger flow will continue, and eventually bring me to my destination. The journey may not always be smooth, but I trust that my body and my baby will guide me to where we need to go.
