Pregnancy is a time of great anticipation as you head out into uncharted waters. Worries about the baby's health and the possibility of miscarriage are common fears early in pregnancy. Although it may be easier said than done, letting go of your anxieties, at least for a little while, is the best thing for you and your baby right now.

Here are some ways to deal with anxiety about miscarriage and stress about the pregnancy:

• Designate a certain area of your home, like your bedroom, a worry-free zone, and then stick to a vow to let your anxieties go when you are in that space.

• Use an aromatherapy candle you like to help you relax.

• Play soft music or nature sounds.

• Incorporate soothing scenery in the form of photographs and posters to relieve your anxiety.
