Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Forgets

Emotions aren’t just in your head – your body keeps them too.

Sometimes a smell, a song, or a place makes your heart race for no reason.
That’s not imagination – it’s your body remembering.

Our nervous system stores emotional patterns long before we’re able to describe them. The body keeps a kind of “emotional memory” that influences how we react to stress, comfort, and love.

During pregnancy or early parenthood, these memories often come back. They shape how you feel about your own safety, your instincts, and even how you care for your child. It’s completely natural.
Understanding this helps you be gentler with yourself – because every new chapter of life activates something old inside us.

Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, expecting a baby, or raising a toddler, your emotions are part of that story too.
