What are those Brits thinking?
In USA Weekend yesterday, there was an article on "New Thinking in Infertility" reporting findings from the British Medical Journal that I totally disagree with.
Apparently a new study found that there was no difference in the successful pregnancy rates of women who are under lots of stress versus women who aren't. This just doesn't make any sense! The physiological domino effect of stress in the body contradicts that finding and leaves me scratching my head.
Very simply put, stress puts us into fight-or-flight response. That fight-or-flight response includes a disruption in the production of hormones that support conception and pregnancy.
Establishing a relaxation response is key to conception and full-term pregnancy. Forget the British study; I've got case files full of proof of how effective the mind-body-spirit connection is this regard.
