I've been under a lot of stress lately, and I'm in my early pregnancy. Does stress affect the baby or the pregnancy in the initial stages? I'm really worried about it.
Having PCOS made me super anxious during the first few weeks, and I kept worrying about everything. But too much stress isn't good for your body. Try to take deep breaths and take it day by day, we just have to be a little careful.
Actually stress can disturb your hormones too. I had thyroid issues and stress made my reports fluctuate a lot, so please go for your regular checkups and discuss this with your gynac. They can guide you on safe ways to manage it.
Stress is the worst, and it totally ruins your appetite! Whenever I felt stressed in my first few weeks, I just ordered some hot momos or had chocolate ice cream to feel better. Honestly, keeping your tummy happy keeps the mind happy, so don't take load.
Yes dear, mild stress is normal but try not to overthink. Your body is doing a lot of work right now. Try small walks, talk to a friend, or watch something funny to distract yourself.
It really can affect how you feel physically, I felt so exhausted when I took stress early on. Now that I am breastfeeding, I realize how important peace of mind is. Try to listen to some music or just rest when you can.
