Is anyone else struggling with start of 2nd trimester anxiety?
It's like it came on out the blue and I juat cannot calm it. I feel so unprepared and worried, and just cannot switch my brain off.
My partner isn't the most supportive, but I do have a great network in a couple of friends and my mum.
It's hard having gone from really enjoying being pregnant and looking forward to everything, to what all of a sudden feels like fear and worry.
Any coping mechanism recommendations are more than welcome 🙏

I think your brain will later on switch to nesting mode. It's weird how the brain works, that anxiety is helping you assess and determine the things that you need so that you can be prepared. It's not entirely a bad thing, just channel it into preparation.
I’ve noticed an increase in anxious thoughts too. Not feeling prepared, worrying about money, convincing myself that my partner won’t love the changes in me etc. I’m 24 weeks and I’m just trying to go with the flow, I think finding reassurance in others and knowing you’re not alone is important so keep reaching out 🥰 feel free to send me a message if you need a chat x
Absolutely, going with the flowers is what I'm trying to do, and just riding the waves. Money worry is a real thing, my partner keeps telling me not worry about it and he can cover all the bills etc. but then with not feeling overly supported and then when arguments arise, it's really hard to not feel worried x
