Anxiety

ThenCaliSays

I am having anxiety issues tonight for no reason.  I am worrying about everything right now.  The baby has changed positions, I can tell because my bell is all lopsided, but I haven't felt him really move (when he obviously has). Just feeling all around anxious.  I do not like it.

Here's something my therapist asks me to think about constantly: Will the worrying you're doing change anything, or will it just make you more physically and mentally stressed?

It's so hard not to worry, but I think that thinking of worry this way can help you let it go. It doesn't always work, but it helps me a lot of the time. I hope LO moves soon to give you some reassurance.

It's weird though, that is a small part of it.  I am just anxious for no real reason, I can't pick any one real thing.  It's like an undertone that has set over me.  I think part of it is just being exhausted.  I got no sleep last night from all the contractions, and now I just feel anxious and "not right" if that makes any sense at all.

DH is convinced it is because labor is coming soon.

That might be MORE than "part" of it! I have dealt with anxiety issues my entire life, and I notice I get them when I'm tired and/or dehydrated.

Keep healthy, and get rest. When your body is comfortable your mind is less likely to freak out.
