Work pressure and home everything together is getting too much, im in my second trimester. I keep worrying its not good for the baby which stresses me more, kind of a cycle. How do u all manage and stay calm?
My mother always told me to look at green plants and listen to gentle classical music to calm my mind. It really helped me, but if your stress feels too overwhelming, please mention it to your gynac during your checkup.
Having PCOS made me extra anxious about miscarriage, so my stress levels were very high. I found that talking to a close friend and doing deep breathing exercises helped me stay grounded. Don't bottle up your feelings, speak to someone.
I always tell moms on this group that your peace of mind is the priority right now. Try to take one day at a time, practice light meditation, and ignore the kitchen chores if they stress you out. Let your family handle it for a change!
Stress is so bad for you and baby, so try to take it easy! 🌸 I used to listen to happy music, paint, and go for tiny walks in the evening. Just disconnect from negative news and pamper yourself!
Actually, chronic stress increases cortisol which isn't great for the baby. Try to block out unwanted advice from relatives and set strict boundaries. A short 15-minute walk or a warm bath before bed can do wonders for your mental state.
