Anxiety

Anyone else having increased anxiety in their last weeks? I have been having the most relaxed mood this whole pregnancy- much calmer than my usual self - just happy to be growing my baby and not worried about anything even with new stressful life circumstances- but all of the sudden I’m getting anxious!! I’m super excited to meet my baby, but feel like I’m getting triggered anxiety over random little things. Or just worrying about how life is going to change as well - but just a general edgier base line. Hormones?? Timing?? Who else?

It’s completely normal. The baby book that I am reading along with my baby tracker both said the same thing, anxiety will increase as you get closer to giving birth.

Only thing I have anxiety over is my water breaking while my partner is at work

Especially with having 2 under 2 soon, YES. I go back and forth between being SUPER anxious about it and feeling like I will never have any sense of self ever again and wondering how I’ll care for both kids as a SAHM who’s partner travels to gaslighting myself into thinking it’ll be easier once I’m not pregnant because I’ll have slightly more energy (despite being sleep deprived)🫠

@Destiny I hear that the sleep deprivation is easier than the body exhaustion of pregnancy 😅 I’m hoping that’s real

I go back and forth I’ve noticed. One moment I feel I’m ready & will be great! The next, I’m realizing I’m really having a baby & no going back. Then I start freaking out about my ability to be a mom. 😅 Thank God for my village that grounds me back!🥰
