Stressed

AbbySeiden

I thought this part of pregnancy would be fun, setting up the nursery and getting all the cute little clothes ready, but everything is stressing me out. I feel like I can't make decisions and nothing is going the way I planned. I've been so lucky because I've had such an easy pregnancy so far, but now that I'm 30 weeks all I do is stress, worry and make lists. I know being anxious is normal but is being a little depressed now that I'm in the homestretch normal?

Yes. It is normal. Your life is about to change in a huge way.....but you have to remember a baby only really needs mommy when they make there appearance. That cute little nursery and the wonderful organizing doesn't matter because it will all get trashed anyways. 

Really just know that you need a carseat, some clothes, diapers and feeding supplies right away and do everything else as you need it. 

Good luck, stress isn't good for you or the baby.

Yeah, try not to over think everything.  I'm totally type A - and realized very early on that I had to seriously let go of that impulse when it comes to parenting!!

Babies really just need you

It's normal. A major part of your life is about to change. DH and I are in the process of having a house built and due to bad weather and all other kinds of nonsense, it may not even be ready for us to move in before the baby is born. I have a never ending list of things to do, but unfortunately about 90% of it will have to wait. Talk about stressed!

Totally normal I think for me it's worse this time around I get overwhelmed really easy sometimes I'll try and do something and just stand in the middle of the room and start to cry.
