Vent: STRESSED

I’m a first time mom and I’m am worried about everything concerning baby and myself! I’m not usually this anxious but since I’ve been pregnant it’s been so much worse. I was not prepared for a child and now my partner and I are scrambling to figure out how to afford this new baby as well as navigating what being parents is like. I’m currently working six days a week at 20 weeks pregnant and I am TIRED. 😭 He works 12 hour shifts so I know he’s exhausted too. It just seems like we were barely scraping by before and now that a child is involved its made things very tense. Baby girl was not planned and im happy she’s on the way but LORD IM STRESSED!

You got this , praying for you & baby !!!

I was anxious too. Our baby is planned but my business still wasn't taking off so I started to panic.

My husband already has one 4yo. He calmed me down, saying that few baby items are a NEED, especially brand name ones. A lot of stuff exists to make it easier and more convenient, but if you're on a budget you can start super minimal and see how you go from there.

Just the other day I picked up a free infant car seat and stroller from a random generous soul. I've seen some good free cribs too. If you don't like used items, in 2 weeks Target will be taking in used car seats for 20% off a new one. So go grab a free one to trade in!

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭
