Work and home both have been so hectic and i feel tense most of the day, which i know isnt good for baby. 2nd trimester here. What do u all do to calm down, pls share whatever worked for you.
First, it is completely okay to feel stressed, pregnancy brings up a lot. What helped me was slow breathing, gentle music and talking openly to someone instead of bottling it up. If the anxiety feels heavy, please tell your doctor, mine was very supportive about it.
I found a lot of calm in a little prayer time and some quiet moments each morning. Staying positive and surrounding yourself with good company really helps the mind. Take care of yourself gently, the baby feels your peace too.
Gentle prenatal yoga and evening walks were my stress busters, but I checked with my gynac first about what was safe for me. Even ten minutes of breathing exercises calmed me a lot. Movement really does lift the mood.
Yaar try not to stress about being stressed, that is a trap. Watch something light, talk to a friend, eat something you love. Be kind to yourself, you are doing great.
