32 weeks coming up!

Hey ladies! How are you all feeling? Have you started preparing for delivery yet? Did you get a diaper bag? I feel like am very behind because I haven’t got anything for myself post delivery yet. I’ve been receiving gifts from friends and family for the baby but I havent thought about my post delivery care and essentials!

Also, how are we feeling mentally? Am still working full time but it’s really starting to get uncomfortable being stuck in DC traffic and working for long hours. I’ve been very irritable and having mood swings🤦🏻‍♀️

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 🙏
