Anxiety

So I will be 34 weeks pregnant Monday. 🥰I have terrible anxiety and am diagnosed with it, last 2-3 weeks I have gotten dizzy and light headed and my heart rate has been 126 or higher.. they said I have low iron because I am anemic which is true. I’m just so tired of feeling like this, like my heart is going to explode and I can’t control it. I currently have to go have iron infusions which I had to with my first one. I’m underweight for being 33 weeks pregnant 😒 I just feel like the anxiety is so much harder to control while pregnant and your mind wonders so much when your pregnant and every time it happens I think something is instantly wrong when I know it’s just anxiety.
I have a little girl that’s almost 16 months and I can barely do anything with her because I feel so tired and light headed 90% of the time. How do you mommas deal with the anxiety ?. How do you make your mind relaxed and know that everything is okay ?.

I definitely think words of affirmation and talking to your partner about what your feeling but also knowing their is only so much u can control .

The thing that helped me most with anxiety and my baby cousin (who was also diagnosed) is that I play out the anxiety. What’s the worst that could happen, and then I plan for it.

Obvi, w pregnancy that’s sooooo easy to say. Way harder to do. All I could suggest is eat iron heavy foods, which could just improve your lethargy. Also don’t beat yourself up. You’re literally doing your best. that’s more than what’s asked of you.

FTM and i’m so anxious about the glucose test

Could really use some support or reassurance from people. i’m a very anxious person and i’ve been experiencing high anxiety for a lot of my pregnancy.
what was the glucose test like for you? do you have any suggestion that might make it easier for me?
i’m scared it will make me puke (haven’t puked at all through my whole pregnancy, some first trimester nausea but nothing since 14 weeks)
please be kind and don’t tell me worst case scenarios because that will make me spiral. i’m already aware of the worst possible outcomes anyways (thanks anxiety)

Comment your due date and actual birth date

I'm about 30 weeks pregnant and trying to prepare for the fact that my hubby might not be there for the birth of our first baby.
I'd love to hear when your due date was vs the date you actually gave birth. Did bub come earlier, on time or a little later?
