Im in my second trimester and dont know why but anxiety is bohot high these days, small small baat pe I start crying. Work and ghar dono ka pressure. How do u all stay calm during pregnancy? Anything that actually helps na?
Hey girl, honestly, don't stress too much! Easier said than done, I know. But seriously, everyone goes through it. Just try to do things you enjoy, even small things like reading a book or listening to your favourite songs. It helps, trust me!
Pregnancy can be such an emotional rollercoaster, especially if you've been through a long journey to get here, like with IVF. Please be kind to yourself. It's okay to feel anxious. Just focus on one day at a time, and remember you're doing an amazing job. Take care of your mental health first.
Oh god, the advice from MIL and mom can be a stressor in itself sometimes, haha! Everyone tells you 'don't stress, don't stress!' which only makes you stress more. I just tried to find little pockets of peace, like an evening walk or just chilling alone in my room for a bit. It helps to tune out the noise.
Oh God, stress and pregnancy are like best friends na? Especially with twins, I was always like 'is this normal or am I just hangry?' Try to delegate tasks, seriously. And if someone offers help, say yes! Your future self will thank you.
Stress? Ha! Wait till the baby comes, you'll miss these 'stressed' days when you could still sleep more than 2 hours. Seriously though, try to nap whenever you can. Sleep deprivation makes everything 100 times worse. And don't be afraid to just do nothing sometimes.
I felt so overwhelmed in my first pregnancy, like every small thing would make me cry or worry. It's totally normal to feel that way. I found talking to my husband or mom really helped, just to vent everything out. Dont keep it all inside.
Stress can really affect your health, I realized this when I had gestational diabetes. So important to keep calm. I'm not gonna suggest any specific diets or anything, but maintaining a balanced routine and staying hydrated really helped me feel better mentally. Bas, listen to your body, ok?
Meri pregnancy mein I used to get so stressed sometimes, I know exactly what you mean. What worked for me was just taking short walks, like just around the society garden. And sometimes watching silly comedy shows, just to take my mind off things. Pls check with your doc if you're feeling too much, ok?
Honestly, a lot of my stress was about the hospital bills and all the tests! I started making a budget early, even checked different packages. Knowing I had a plan for the expenses really reduced that specific type of anxiety. So maybe try to plan ahead for the practical stuff?
Beta, stress toh aa hi jaata hai, but you must try to relax for the baby. Ghar pe thoda aaram karo, maybe listen to some light bhajan ya classical music. Meri saas kehti thi sar pe tel ki malish se bhi neend achi aati hai, that can help calm the mind too. Par haan, doc ko toh poochhna hi hai.
