Trying to Conceive

Are you ready to have a baby, but have some fears or hesitations?

Trying to conceive can be a stressful, anxiety inducing experience for a variety of reasons. Maybe you feel nervous about if you’ll be able to get pregnant. Maybe you’ve experienced a loss and feel fearful of another loss. Maybe you’ve been trying to conceive for a while, but having trouble getting pregnant. Or perhaps you experienced a lot of trauma in childhood and are afraid of passing on “issues” to your children.  

The trying to conceive journey can be fraught with all kinds of worst case scenario thoughts. At Safe Haven TS, we can help address these distressing negative beliefs about pregnancy. Our thoughts are powerful and can have a profound impact on our ability to conceive. We help you to learn tools to regulate your nervous system, address fears and concerns, and help you to feel confident about starting your parenting journey.

Issues that may influence how you feel about getting pregnant:

• previous losses (pregnancy loss/miscarriage, still birth, loss of a previous child)

• fear of child birth

• fear of parenting with a history of trauma

• putting too much pressure on yourself to conceive

• worst case scenario thinking

• stress and anxiety
