These days my mind is always racing with worst case scenarios and i cant sleep peacefully. Im in my second tri and the anxiety just keeps building up. How did u all stay calm? really need some support here.
Sabse pehle phone side me rakho. Half of your anxiety comes from reading horror stories online. Talk to your family, go for a walk, and trust your body.
My doctor suggested practicing 10 minutes of deep breathing exercises every morning and limiting screen time. She said high cortisol levels from stress aren't good, so prioritizing sleep is crucial.
Honestly, cut off from negative pregnancy WhatsApp groups and stop googling every symptom. Start listening to calming podcasts or take up light walking. Keep your mind busy.
If your anxiety is getting hard to manage, please talk to your gynac. They can guide you safely or suggest a prenatal counselor. Mental health is as important as physical health.
I completely understand what you are going through, the anxiety can feel so overwhelming. I used to cry over small things. Just take deep breaths, talk to your partner, and don't feel guilty.
Staying with my parents helped me stay so relaxed. My mother would sit with me and talk about her own pregnancies, which made me feel so safe. Spend time with loved ones.
My mother-in-law used to tell me to chant prayers or read peaceful books to keep my mind calm. It actually helped distract me from negative thoughts. Try talking to family members.
