Second Trimester Breathing Exercises
As your baby grows, so does your need for calm. Breathe into that space.
Why try breathing exercises in the second trimester?
For many women, this is when energy returns, morning sickness fades (hopefully!), and the growing bump starts to feel more real. But even with more good days, you might still experience emotional ups and downs, breathlessness, heartburn, or tightness in your chest as your baby grows and your organs shift to make space.
This is where breathwork can be your quiet superpower.
Breathing exercises during the second trimester can help you:
✔ Create more space in the lungs and diaphragm
✔ Support digestion and reduce tension
✔ Regulate your nervous system
✔ Manage rising emotions or overwhelm
✔ Prepare for the demands of late pregnancy and birth
Breathing with baby
Take a moment after your breathing practice to place your hands on your belly and notice the connection. You might even speak a few words to your baby. These quiet rituals of presence become little anchors throughout pregnancy, and they may stay with you during birth and beyond.
