Best crystals for pregnancy
Carrying a new life inside you is a deeply transformative and spiritual experience. A period filled with hope, joy and anticipation – and for many also filled with excitement, nervousness, anxiety and perhaps even fear of what might happen, the impending birth and the major changes that will undeniably occur in life.
Crystals are great for supporting pregnancy on many different levels because they offer a unique way to embrace the journey into motherhood.
Their beauty and energy can create a connection to the divine and spiritual aspects of pregnancy, while also offering reassurance and confidence that everything is exactly as it should be.
By integrating these crystals into your daily routine, you can strengthen your connection to your own inner wisdom and intuition, and create a space of love and acceptance around you and the baby in your womb.
When choosing crystals to support you, choose the ones you are most drawn to. You can also use them during childbirth and in the early days as a new parent.
The best crystals for pregnancy
Rainbow Moonstone
Rainbow Moonstone is best for pregnancy, birth and infancy. During pregnancy, Rainbow Moonstone provides nurturing, maternal energies that are connected to the feminine energy. It acts like a long, safe and warm hug, leaving you calm and filled with a feeling that everything will be okay.
Red Calcite
Red Calcite is good for pregnancy, where it has a grounding, protective effect and helps you maintain good energy and vitality. It helps you set boundaries and communicate from the heart. Red Calcite is also really good for supporting physically during birth.
Carnelian
Carnelian is known to be one of the best crystals for physical support during your pregnancy because it works with the Hara Chakra, which supports the uterus. Keep it on your stomach when you rest. Carnelian also gives you strength and courage, and heals past unpleasant experiences that may have manifested in the body.
Rose quartz
During pregnancy, it is super important to recharge yourself with a lot of gentle, loving energies that you can pass on to the little new life you are creating. Here, Rose Quartz is the perfect choice; the love stone that brings peace, trust, love and good energies. Feel free to carry it with you throughout the day, and also sleep with it during the night.
Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite cleanses and opens the heart, and brings positivity, lightness and optimism – all things that can be of great benefit during pregnancy, so that you can enjoy the months more easily. It strengthens your sense of self-worth, and helps you believe that the best will happen to you, and have confidence in it. It reminds us to always act in love, and how important it is to always follow our intuitive feeling. It also has a calming effect if you suffer from headaches.
Sunstone
Sunstone helps you during pregnancy by turning negative energies into positive ones, and by keeping your focus on what brings you joy rather than what is difficult. When impatience is at its peak, it will help you enjoy the present, and it is known to have incredibly powerful healing abilities, strengthening the body to find its own healing ability.
Selenite
Selenite brings light, peace and tranquility, and it helps you filter out that which is no longer your gift, but only lets positive and uplifting energies in. It lets the light into your mind and body, and cleanses of unwanted energies. Selenite is also really good for children's rooms, where it will bring in positive, clean energies.
