Anxiety
So, it’s not so much of a question but a vent.. I found out I’m pregnant. My husband and I have been trying.. for like 6-9 months and nothing.. we stopped trying and I’m pregnant. My mother passed away a year ago.. this is hard on me. I’m not sure how I feel. I’m scared I’m going to lose the baby but I’m scared on doing this without my mom 😔 I’ve had two ectopics and three miscarriages.. I’m just very overly anxious right now and feel so alone.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. I can’t imagine how hard this time must be for you. While I haven’t lost my mom, I do struggle with anxiety & I struggled with infertility. My hope is that you can lean on your husband right now…mine was pretty clueless at 1st, but I found that the more I opened up, the more he did too. Also talk to your doc-I actually started ON anti-anxiety meds during my 2nd pregnancy! As far as this new babe-I can 100% understand & relate to that fear. All you can do is what is within your control-doc appts, eat well-ish😏, take your prenatals, go for walks, download positive/happy songs, find little things each day to look forward to - a fun coffee drink (even if it’s decaf😉), a new pair of comfy pants you never want to take off, a pedi, whatever it might be! The little things really do add up. I’m sorry because I’ve been in the position where things sound easy coming from others but no one can really “fix it.” Just know you are NOT alone! 🤗 Best wishes, Mama!
