Stressful!

I’m 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby and feel like I’m always worrying about what I’m eating/doing/even what skincare I’m using (!) and if it will impact my baby! It’s so good to have a support group like this to know that I’m not alone in my anxieties! Google is my enemy at the moment but just cannot help it as I’m always trying to seek reassurance for stupidest things. Initially I just followed advice on the NHS website, however the more things I look up the more I find out that wasn’t on the NHS website and it’s so stressful! No question really, just a bit of a rant! 😂

Don’t stress get a good balance of fruits and veggies.. keep everything as natural as possible and the most important thing to do is not stress.. more important than anything else

I was very much the same! Maybe not as much during pregnancy but postnataly 100%. It does more damage than good, many sources are unreliable, not proven scientifically, not fully researched etc. My suggestion is to limit your search to NHS only and enjoy your pregnancy, you and your baby will be just fine 😉

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
