So, let me tell you about this wild ride I had with my Virgo Peridot crystal during pregnancy. I’m not really into the whole crystal healing thing, but a friend gifted me this beautiful green stone, and I figured, why not? It looked pretty, and I was willing to try anything to make my pregnancy a bit more bearable.
I started by just carrying it around in my pocket. I didn’t really expect much, but I have to admit, it felt kind of nice to have something to fiddle with. Plus, the color was so calming.
Then, I decided to get a bit more intentional about it. I read somewhere that you’re supposed to “program” your crystals with your intentions, so I held it in my hand during my meditation sessions. I focused on having a healthy pregnancy and a smooth delivery, and I imagined the crystal glowing with positive energy. Sounds a bit woo-woo, I know, but it was actually quite relaxing.
I also started sleeping with it under my pillow. I don’t know if it was the crystal or just the placebo effect, but I definitely felt like I was sleeping better. Fewer nightmares, less tossing and turning.
- I carried the crystal in my pocket.
- I held it during meditation.
- I slept with it under my pillow.
- I placed it on my belly during relaxation time.
One thing I found particularly helpful was placing the crystal on my belly whenever I felt the baby move. It was like a little bonding ritual between me, the baby, and the stone. I imagined the crystal’s energy connecting us and keeping us both safe and healthy.
Now, did the Virgo Peridot actually do anything magical? I can’t say for sure. But it definitely helped me feel more grounded and connected to my body and my baby. It became a comforting presence throughout my pregnancy, and that, in itself, was worth it.

What I Learned
It’s all about intention. Whether or not you believe in the power of crystals, taking the time to focus on your well-being and set positive intentions can make a difference.
It’s a nice touch. Even if it’s just a placebo effect, having a physical object to remind you of your goals and intentions can be powerful.
Every pregnancy is different. What works for one person might not work for another. It’s all about finding what makes you feel good and supported.
So, if you’re pregnant and curious about crystals, give it a try! You might be surprised at how much you enjoy the experience. Just remember to listen to your body and do what feels right for you. And hey, even if it doesn’t work miracles, you’ll at least have a pretty stone to show for it!
