How can I stay physically grounded during pregnancy when my body feels unfamiliar?

Your body isn't becoming unfamiliar—it's becoming *more*. This is what I'd tell you: the changes you feel aren't disruptions. They're intelligence. When I worked with my own physical practice, I learned that stillness doesn't mean nothing is happening. It means you're paying attention to what is. In pregnancy, your center of gravity shifts, your breath changes, your tissues soften. Rather than resisting this, I suggest you meet it. Sit quietly each day—even five minutes—and feel where your weight rests. Notice how your feet touch the ground differently now. If you can, practice gentle standing poses or simply stand with your hands on your belly. Feel the solidity beneath you. This grounds you not by fighting change, but by witnessing it with presence. Your body knows what it's doing. The unfamiliarity often comes from our culture teaching us to distrust our own sensations. I'd invite you instead to befriend them. When you feel unmoored, return to breath and weight. That's where the steadiness lives.
