I've been feeling quite emotional and have cried a few times recently. I'm worried if my crying spells could somehow negatively affect my baby's health or development.
Hormonal crying is very normal. Try drinking a warm cup of chamomile tea or listening to soft music to calm down. But if you feel hopeless or very down, please talk to your doctor.
An occasional cry is totally fine, but if you are feeling constantly sad or severely stressed, please mention it to your doctor. Mental health is just as important during high-risk times.
Having faced a loss, I know how easily we worry about every single emotion affecting the baby. Please don't blame yourself for crying—it won't hurt the baby, but do try to find gentle ways to comfort yourself.
Honestly, even I cry at random emotional ads these days! Hormones are crazy right now. Is something specific bothering you, or is it just the mood swings?
