Zooming Through Pregnancy
Stress reduction and sleep in pregnancy:
Coping Mechanisms 

Pregnancy and the early months of parenting often come with elevated feelings of stress, and yet we know through research that keeping stress levels down during pregnancy can positively impact birth outcomes. In this session, we will discuss various strategies for stress reduction with a special attention on ways of improving sleep.
