Some days my mind just keeps racing with worst case thoughts about the baby and delivery. Im in my third trimester now and the tension is getting too much. How do u all stay calm?
Oh, darling, anxiety during pregnancy is so, so real and it's absolutely okay to feel it. I went through it too. Just acknowledge your feelings, talk to someone you trust, maybe your partner or a friend. You're doing an amazing job already by just recognizing it.
Anxiety happens, especially with all the changes. Try simple things like short walks, listening to light music, or maybe doing a bit of meditation. If it's too much, talk to your doctor, they can suggest ways to manage it without extra expenses or complications. Don't bottle it up.
Cope with anxiety? Haha, good question! Currently, I cope by napping whenever possible and eating everything in sight. But seriously, just taking deep breaths, maybe a warm bath, and trying to focus on positive things really helps. And talking to your partner, they need to know what's going on!
Honestly, sometimes I just deal with my anxiety by planning my next meal or indulging in a harmless craving! Haha. But seriously, a little walk and some good comfort food (in moderation!) can really help lift the mood. Also, distracting yourself with fun plans helps!
Girl, I totally get you, I had so much anxiety during my pregnancy too. It's overwhelming with all the changes and worries, right? Don't feel bad about it. What really helped me was talking to my gynac openly and doing some light meditation daily. Pls, dont keep it to yourself.
