At 6 weeks pregnant! Fuck yeah! Was a nervous wreck! It did fade off pretty quick though. Don't panic about it just yet, speak to midwife for some counselling to refresh you on some grounding techniques for when the panic attacks hit and just see how you go, cross the bridge when you get there. Feel free to DM me xx

My anxiety has gotten way worse during pregnancy, and weird panic triggers like food stuck in my teeth or being in pain triggers panic. Talking to my husband about it really helped baths, heating pad sooth me, but it’s way hard so I feel for you and I’m here with you!

My anxiety got so bad during pregnancy but worse postpartum also struggling with ocd however nearly 8 months postpartum my anxiety has definitely reduced and gotten so much easier!
Always here if you need to talk to anyone xx

yes everything got worse , anger , depression , anxiety , i went back on lexapro 3rd trimester to help me relax and also save me from PPD lol cause i know im more likely to get it

Am I being sensitive?

My partners mum was talking to my partner last night and she said to him ‘let’s call our baby [insert name]’. She keeps telling me off for tapping my belly too (I like to pat it like a bongo cus I feel like I’m playing him a little rhythm).

It’s getting too much and it’s making me anxious because this is my baby and my body but maybe I’m just being overly sensitive? Advice welcome 😭

For more context this is my 4th baby but my other three were from my ex husband, so this baby is my partners first.

First trimester

Hi all, just looking for some reassurance as I’m driving myself crazy. I’m currently 5w 4days and barely having any symptoms and all I keep seeing on Tiktok is other people really struggling with the first trimester. Am I just being naive and will it ramp up in the coming weeks? Anyone else not really having many symptoms at around 5 weeks?
I can’t remember what I was like with my first around this time, I feel so much more anxious this time round 🤦🏼‍♀️

Emotional about my baby turning one

Is anyone else so emotional about the babies gonna be 1 cos I’m an emotional mess my baby boy is 1 on the 17th and he wil be my last baby and I just want to keep him a baby as long as I can but this year has just went by too fast. I also had a traumatic experience with he’s birth and complications after it I think as it coming close to year it’s bringing back a lot of emotions x
