The human body has 2 nervous systems in. One is the sympathetic and the other the parasympathetic.



The sympathetic nervous system is usually referred to as the “fight or flight” system. It makes the blood pressure go up, the breath rate to accelerate, and stress hormones to saturate the body. Traditionally, this always happened to get the body ready to combat hazardous animals.



Today, however, we go through this stress, caught in traffic jams or while working at the office. When the sympathetic nervous system gets too stimulated, you tend to undergo consequences like ulcers, migraines, and heart disease. In pregnancy, unfortunately, many a time the effects of the sympathetic nervous system are transferable to the growing fetus.

The parasympathetic nervous system brings down the blood pressure. It is also responsible for slowing down the pace of the breath. When the blood no longer feels the need to hasten to your muscles, it can now go to the digestive, reproductive, glandular, and immune systems. These systems are cp,[composed of organs that  are vital to long-term survival. Research has proven that long, slow breathing strengthens this nervous system and lets relaxation and healing take place.

The food that the pregnant mother eats, the oxygen she inhale, and her state of mind are all passed on to the child in the womb. The stress she undergoes is the stress her child feels in the womb. This is why Pregnancy Yoga is so important. Yoga unites the body, mind, and spirit and connects you to your baby as well. Hence Pregnancy Yoga gives moms-to-be a great chance to create a world (her womb) for her child. One that is healthy and peaceful, because what a child learns in the womb can’t be learned in the world.
