Practice relaxation techniques: I encourage you to practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation. These techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety levels and promote relaxation and calmness.

Get regular exercise: Physical exercise is an effective way to manage stress and anxiety during pregnancy. Engage in moderate exercise regularly, such as walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga. It can also help improve sleep quality and boost overall mood.
