Pregnancy anxiety🤕

I’m finding it so difficult to not worry about everything. I am constantly worried that something bad is going to happen🤕 my baby is growing away fine, everything is great at every checkup and I’m a low risk but I cannot shake this anxiety! I wish I could just relax and enjoy being pregnant cause it’s the most special time🥺💙 any advice would be great ladies on how to chill out!

I used to feel like this a lot I found some pregnancy anxiety meditations on YouTube that helped to calm my mind and relax me. Once you start feeling the baby move loads as well it definitely helps, since I started feeling them kick every day my anxiety about pregnancy pretty much disappeared. But you’re not alone 🖤

Honestly nothing will stop the worry and anxiety😔 until you have your baby in your arms, even then the worry carries on. You love your baby so much that’s why the worrying is there. I’m terrible I worry about everything, in my pregnancy I was going crazy and now my little man is here 4 weeks today I’m worried with him having bogies in his nose lol

I found watching netflix baby/parenting programmes and reading parenting books really did the trick for me. Long walks or a long relaxing bath. X

I would highly recommend the positive birth company digital pack or book to get you in a positive mind set. They also have Facebook groups which I found useful for keeping a positive mindset xx

Needing friends.

Hey I’m a 20yo mom to a super cute 6week old baby girl. I’ve been struggling to make mom friends more my age since I’m a bit younger. I love going on walks and hikes with her, or taking her out to grab a sweet treat. I really just want some to connect with, someone who knows what it’s like. Text me or let me know if you’d like to chat! 🤍🍼

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Why am I so pathetic...

I just cant walk away from this "friendship" that is so glaringly obviously one way..I go 3 days feel great and then just end up caving in and messaging to see how they are

I feel im worth more than this however something in me is clearly desperate to retain the 1 friend I have 😔 even writing this is sound so stupid

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏
