18: Why "Just Relaxing" Won't Help You Get Pregnant

Your Journey to Fertility

If you have been trying to conceive for 6 months or more then no doubt someone has said you need to “Just Relax!” (if i had a dollar...). In today’s episode I’m going to share exactly why relaxing isn’t going to help you fall pregnant, so you can start focusing on the things that will.
How many times have you been told you just need to “relax a bit more” as you’re struggling with infertility?
While things like booking a holiday, going for a massage & spending a day at the spa might make you feel better in the short term, they’re not going to reduce your stress & anxiety levels for very long.
Why? Because stress is a little more complicated than that. A few massages are no match for the stress that comes with months or years of infertility. In today’s episode, I’ll explain exactly what stress is and how it affects your body (and your fertility) so the next time someone says “just relax” you’ll know exactly how to respond to them.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT:

● The science behind stress & why saying “just relax” isn’t going to change how your body responds to stressful situations

● The 5 reasons why this isn’t so simple

● How you can actually focus on the things that will make a difference to the anxiety of trying to conceive
