After having a kid!!!

Is it normal that I became more scared( paranoid) and overprotective about myself and my love ones since I had my baby? Example: when I’m in the car at the gas station, I lock the doors and check my mirrors at all times and get anxious when someone who I’m with tanking too long in the gas station. I never used to be like this.

Yes, I’m the same. Locking doors and find pushing the pram on any sidewalk a bit tough, I keenly watch cars coming toward us. I hope it eases up as we go along.

Hopefully it gets better, I’m tired of being an umbrella mom and anxious outside.

That’s normal

100% normal!

It is so normal. For me it was postpartum anxiety that I needed some help getting under control. I was having some reaaallll interesting thoughts. Wasn’t until I told my sister one of them that I was like ummm maybe that isn’t actually normal.

Same.

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?
