Stress...

Never in my life did I want to take something to just make stress disappear. Terrible anxiety & stress. It's crazy.. Giving birth and becoming a mom isn't even stressful. It's everyone else that's stressing me out. I haven't cried once this pregnancy or been irrational or mad.. So it's not hormone related. It's just all building up. Ugh sorry :(

    It could still be hormone related, did you have anxiety before pregnancy? Without knowing the details, the advice I would give is try to avoid the specific people that are stressing you out. But really, you should talk to your OB and see if they have someone they recommend for counseling during pregnancy. Talking to someone now before LO gets here will set you up for better chances of reducing your anxiety once you do give birth. And I've found that whether I realize it or not, being pregnant and becoming a mom IS stressful and that's perfectly okay. We are spending all of our time caring and worrying about our LO and preparing for a lot but it's incredibly important that we take care of ourselves, not just physically but mentally as well.

    Don't freak yourself out. Every emotion seems heightened when you are pregnant. Just try to take a break, close your eyes and breath. Maybe even talk to someone about what is stressing you out.

    Oh yeah I had anxiety before pregnancy. Anything I've been upset about hasn't been anything irregular. I mean I've had the same arguments with husband prior to pregnancy & the same arguments with family prior to too. Just sucks they can't cut me a break and chill out.

    I can't do anything about work stress
