Turning up the emotional volume


'The highs will be higher and the lows will be lower than anything you've experienced before.' Wise words from a colleague and friend, describing the emotional changes involved in becoming a parent. So far it's essentially been highs with the odd dip - plenty of time yet for the full rollercoaster experience.

A few years ago I used to practice shiatsu, which is a bit like acupuncture without the needles. A fellow practitioner said having a child would open up my heart channel - I'm beginning to appreciate what she meant. Acupuncture points can play a useful part in childbirth - for more information see here.
