Is Your Intuition Speaking?

Pregnancy is known to be a highly intuitive time in a woman's life.  I've known women who are down right psychic in fact!

Have you had the experience of simply knowing a "truth" within yourself, even though you didn't have a logical explanation?

 

If so, that was your intuition speaking.

 

Intuition is that sudden "aha moment" or "feeling"  that literally comes out of nowhere.  

 

 

Intuition has also been called our "sixth sense".  I guess that's because it's in addition to the five physcial senses of seeing, hearing, feeling, touching and smelling?

 

 In all honesty, our five physical senses are more heightened in pregnancy too.. ...are they not?  For example, I can not even step foot in a fast food restaurant to grab my teenage son a burger after a baseball game, or even the drive through, when pregnant!

Over time I have learned to rely on my intuition as not only real but reliable.  For example, if I hadn't relied on my intuition to fly home to NJ when my father became  ill with "headaches" eight years ago,  I would not have gotten home in time to say "goodbye".    You see,  after many tests the Doctors sent him to rehab  as if he would recover.    My sixth sense told me something was terribly wrong, and I trusted.   My father ultimately didn't recover and died only a few weeks later of terminal brain cancer. 

 

  

I've also relied heavily on my intuition regarding my children, in all their ages and stages.  And yes, about my 7 pregnancies as well.  I have "intuited" many times that I have conceived a baby - -way before I had any physical signs or went through the motions to "pee on a stick" and find out for sure.

Intuition isn't just reliable for the really important things in our life.  It's part of our day to day experience and can be tapped into at any time.

  

In pregnancy it's heightened though, for sure.  Pregnancy is truly a training ground for developing our intuition.

Several women I've supported through their pregnancies have reported experiences of deep inner knowingness, including being positive they were pregnant even when the pregnancy test and EVEN the doctor told them otherwise.  I also know a mom who had an ultrasound where the technician and Doctor were "sure" of a baby boy, even pointing to the baby's "nuggets" as my sons call them - -- yet the mom was absolutely certain, at an intuitive level, her baby was a  girl.  Guess what,  she birthed a girl!

 

  

I've also experienced children (not only my own) letting me know I'm pregnant way before my period was late.  Children, by the way, are naturally intuitive.  We can learn a lot from them.

  

Pregnancy  is not only a time when women are expected to be intuitive, but ALLOWED to be!  Enjoy it and let this be the start of trusting your intuition long after your pregnancy is over!
