Honestly im 20 weeks and some days my mood just drops, i keep worrying about delivery and everything. I dont want all this tension to reach the baby. How do you all keep your mind calm and happy through these months?
Beta take it one day at a time, dont carry the whole nine months at once. Surround yourself with people who calm you down. And if the low feeling stays heavy, please tell your doctor, that is also taking care of yourself.
I leaned on small prayers and quiet time in the morning, it gave me peace. I also kept a little gratitude note of good moments. Whatever brings you calm, lean into it gently, and rest well.
First, it is totally okay to not feel positive all the time, hormones make emotions go everywhere. What helped me was talking openly to my husband and a friend instead of bottling it up. Be kind to yourself, you are doing a big job.
I followed a weekly pregnancy app and seeing baby's growth each week kept me excited and grounded. Light music and short walks helped too. Just avoid doom scrolling scary stories online, that ruined my mood honestly.
