A guided pregnancy meditation for ultrasound anxiety
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Ultrasounds during pregnancy (especially after a loss or fertility treatments) can be a huge source of anxiety. I know they were for me.
I've created this guided pregnancy meditation to help you to on those days where you are waiting for your appointment and anxiety is making you want to crawl out of your skin.
I'm sending you all my love and hope that you get a positive result at your ultrasound.

I can’t thank you enough for this video. Finally, it feels like someone truly understands how I feel, comforting me, helping me to find the hope I yearn to feel for this baby. I have my 8 week ultrasound in 2 days after 2 recurrent losses, the appointment I’ve only received bad news at in the past. I feel so held and will be doing this meditation again before we go in. Thank you 💗
I am so glad to hear that this video landed for you how I intended. You are definitely not alone. Sending you love and hope for your ultrasound. 🙏🏻💜
Hi Bettina, firstly I want to say thank you for creating such a safe space. I've done yoga with you through all of my miscarriages and early pregnancy, always having hope. I came across this video last night because I had crippling anxiety about my ultrasound today. I couldn't believe such a thing even existed and was so grateful to have a moment of peace, cry and acceptance before my appointment.
Everything went well, I have a healthy 7 week pregnancy with a lovely heartbeat. I'll be here, virtually with you, throughout my journey. Thank you 💞
Issy I am so so happy to hear this. Congratulations! ✨ Sending you and baby love 💜
I did your meditation a couple of times this week as it was my ultrasound today. Thank you so much for this. I was a nervous mess because of a previous loss but my husband was there with me for my appointment today and everything went well
Yay!🎉🎉 I’m so happy that your ultrasound went well. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you for creating these videos to help women like me get through their infertility journey.
We have been trying since 2018, after an ectopic in 2020, we turned to IVF this year. Our first transfer in the spring unfortunately ended in a chemical pregnancy but our second transfer earlier this month gave us another positive. After two previous losses, we have never reached an ultrasound milestone… until yesterday.
I was a nervous wreck and cried from the moment I entered the room until I left. At 6 weeks, 3 days, we saw our rainbow baby and heard its very strong heartbeat. There are no words to describe this feeling! 🥰🥰🥰
Your videos helped me through this FET and this video in particular got me to my appointment. As I laid there in tears, all I could remember was “hold onto the longing and love for your baby”
Thank you thank you thank you! I have signed up for your pregnancy plan videos and can’t wait to begin this new chapter ✨✨✨
I am so so happy for you, and it really is an honour to walk beside you in this journey. Sending you and your baby love. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you for this meditation Bettina! I did it yesterday before our 11 week scan, which i was very nervous about after our last baby received a fatal diagnosis at the same scan. The scan went well and our rainbow baby has been cleared of the same diagnosis :) I'm sure I will be coming back to this video for future scans
I am SO HAPPY to hear it all went well. Congratulations! ✨💜
My mid pregnancy ultrasound is tomorrow and I’m so nervous but also extremely excited. This really came at the perfect time for me and I will try it when I get a chance today. Thank you! And many good vibes to all the other stressed sweet people here! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m glad to hear it! Sending you love and hope for your ultrasound tomorrow 🙏🏻💜
@@BettinaRae thank you ♥️
Thank you for this meditation, it has been very helpful. I’m currently 11weeks, 3 days pregnant after two miscarriages in the last year. I went for my first ultrasound (I delayed it for a while) and was so relieved when they told me everything looks really good. I know there’s still a long journey ahead, but I’m so glad baby is off to such a good start ❤️I thank God everyday for the privilege of carrying this beautiful soul.
I’m sending you and your baby so much love and hope 🙏🏻💜✨
I’m gearing up for my 20 week ultrasound this week!! You strike with perfect timing again, thank you for all you do 😍
I hope all goes happy and well for you and your family 💗
I’m glad this came at the right time for you. Sending you love and hope for your ultrasound 🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much for this, I saw your video tha day before my ultrasound, I had a blighted ovum in March and I was feeling miserable , i cried so mucho whole doing the meditation but I felt empowered. We had our ultrasound yesterday we saw our baby and we heard a heartbeat 💖💖💖 thank you so much ❤️
I’m so so happy for you Nadine. Heading the heartbeat is magic ✨ I’m happy my work helped you 💜🙏🏻
the description of this alone has me crying my eyes out. i feel so alone and scared. thank you for this.
I hope this helped you to feel less alone. Sending you love. Please let me know how your ultrasound goes. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you for this video! I've listened few times leading up to my ultrasound today. We were able to see a little 6-week heartbeat 💓
Wonderful news! Congratulations. ✨ I am so happy for you
Thanks for this video! I have an 8 week ultrasound tomorrow. This is the further I’ve ever gotten in a pregnancy after going through two early losses in the past year. I definitely know what you mean about not feeling settled in my body. The constant nausea and fatigue makes me feel like I’m walking through thick fog everyday, not sure what’s going to come next. This meditation is exactly what I need to ground myself.
Found this video this morning before my first ultrasound at 7 weeks. It definitely helped calm my mind and we heard our first heartbeat! Your videos have helped me through my ivf journey and I’ll be following your videos throughout my pregnancy! Thank you!
I'm so glad you're here. And congratulations on your pregnancy! Grow baby grow!
This video has allowed me to release so much trauma and crying, not only from my miscarriage and fear of another one for my upcoming ultrasound but from my past complex trauma.. thank you. You help more than youll ever know ❤
I’m so glad to hear this helped Syeda 🙏🏻💜
Hi Bettina, I read your book two years ago after my first lost. Then I lost another one the following year.
This time around I found your videos and have been listening to your meditations, affirmations and doing some soft yoga (finally again) and it just hits different then the "normal" first trimester audios. You have so much compassion and know what you are talking about.
Anyways, I just got back from our first ultrasound (+ a 2h nap) and just wanted to let you know we are now exactly at 9 weeks, healthy heartbeat and baby was even moving a little. Very happy and your audios have definitely helped me calm down before ❤ and dare to find that connection again.
Kathryn I am so so happy to hear that everything is well. Sending you and your baby love 💜
Your channel has brought me through the darkest moments in my life, I'm forever thankful.
This makes me so happy to hear. I'm glad something good has come from my own losses.
I have my 8 week ultrasound tomorrow after two losses in the past year. My heart has been so broken but you have encouraged me to remain hopeful for this little one. I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you for the work that you do. It’s so comforting to finally feel understood and not alone.
It makes me so happy to hear that I have helped you feel less alone. That is the purpose of my work. Thank you for leaving this comment.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve had an incredibly wobbly and tearful couple of days running up to our first scan in a new pregnancy post loss. This morning when I felt weak, I imagine those roots and how all our experiences will give us the strength to cope with today. It’s been an incredibly rough morning. But we saw a beautiful little 8 week 1 day baby with a lovely heartbeat on the screen this morning. It was amazing. So grateful to you and so proud of us for our strength 💓💓💓💓
This is just the best news. Grow little bubba grow. 🌱
I did this meditation twice, at home and in the waiting room and it helped me calm my nerves. The result of the 6-week ultrasound was inconclusive and I have to wait another week to know if the pregnancy is viable. Right now I am wondering why I'm doing this to myself. I'm 41 and already have a beautiful 2yo. But while I did this meditation I did feel the reason for a moment. Its just hard to connect to something that may even just be an empthy sac.
Oh it’s so hard. This will be an anxious week for you. I’ll be sending you all my love and hope for a positive result. Please let me know how you go 🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much, I'm new here but your videos have just been so helpful to me and my anxiety during my early stages in pregnancy right now.
I'm so glad to hear this.
Thank you, that was just what I needed ❤️ your videos have helped me feel peace through miscarriages and I’m so thankful to connect with them again in another pregnancy.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Glad my videos have helped you though. Sending you and your baby love 💜
@@BettinaRae thank you ❤️
Listened to this yesterday and every time I mediate I have these strange visions it’s so strange 💖 I went for my 12 week scan today and everything looks so good 🥲 I had a partial molar in nov 2021 so I’m so relieved. Your video helped me soo much yesterday so thank you ❤️
I’m so glad to hear it went well. Congratulations. ✨
Omg this meditation is just what I needed today. I'm heading out to my 8w3d ultrasound today 🤞🤞
Sending you and your baby love 💜🙏🏻
I’m awaiting a ultrasound confirmation after a positive urine & negative blood result. I’m anxious and need to mediate to ease my mind .
Sending you love and hope for a positive result. 🙏🏻💜
❤
I don't feel anything in my stomach so I got very anxious before the ultrasound but there was a 77 mm boy is moving around in my body :D I can't understand this 😅
Congratulations! ✨
