Should one try to conceive when mentally disturbed?

Question

Honestly im going through a lot of tension at home these days and not in a good headspace. We were planning to start trying but I keep thinking whether it will affect the baccha or my own peace. Did anyone wait till they felt better? thoda confused.

My mood was so off before conceiving but good food actually helped me relax. Eat your favorite desserts, feel happy, and then think about conceiving.

Haha pregnancy itself is a mood swing roller coaster, so better start with a semi-sane mind at least! Take a break, pamper yourself first.

Damini Singh · Answer

Listen, don't stress too much about this. Just take a deep breath, go out for a movie, and only try when you both feel totally ready and happy.

Mental health is super important during pregnancy. Please talk to your gynac or a counselor before planning so you have the right support.

I was also very stressed when we tried, but now looking at my toddler I feel everything has its timing. Give yourself some grace, rest well first.

Try to meditate and keep your mind peaceful first. A happy soul attracts a healthy baby, so take some time for yourself and pray before trying.

Honestly, I used to overthink this so much too. What if my stress affects the baby? Better to take a small break, clear your head, and then try.
