Getting worried

Does anybody else get worried having a toddler at home and something might happen with your pregnancy? My mum usually helps out a lot but is currently on holiday and my husband works shifts and I’m so nervous and anxious about what if something happens and I need to go to hospital and I have no one to look after or pick my son up from pre school.

Me. I've got anxiety because I'll have a newborn and a 25 month old and my husband works out of state for weeks at a time. I'm really nervous thinking I won't be able to handle it. Even though I'm sure all my instincts will kick back in once new baby is here.

Why is the anxiety so real!!

I am experiencing my first pregnancy and am at a very early 4 weeks, 3 days. My husband and I are super excited, but so nervous about getting through the next few weeks too. My best friend had a miscarriage around 3 months ago and I’ve been there for her a lot since, but her pain and experience has really transferred onto me more than I thought. Any advice to calm myself and not spend all this time worrying and waiting?

Also a follow up question, for those that have suffered losses, how would you advise I tell her when I announce my pregnancy to friends (all being well) ? I don’t want her to be upset or catch her off-guard if that’s the wrong thing to do to excitedly announce in the moment. She doesn’t know me and my husband were even trying as we tried to keep it to ourselves 💗

Bloating discomfort… help!

So I am 31 weeks and 5 days pregnant and the discomfort in my abdomen is getting to be a lot. Whenever I lie down, it feels so tight and like my belly is ready to explode. Nothing really helps and I feel like baby girl doesn’t have room to move as much. Getting up from a sitting position or from lying down is so uncomfortable. Any tips?

Also I drink Metamucil which has tremendously helped my constipation. Online it says it’s basically the natural discomfort of third trimester.
