Due on the 29th of this month with my first and very excited and nervous but my anxiety is through the roof and I've tried everything to calm down, massage and pedicures you name it. Nursery is done, clothes are washed, etc. I need some new ideas to calm down a bit before my little girl is here please

    Cleaning out or reorganizing other parts of the house? Your closet or that drawer in the basement or the garage or somewhere....

    I like to distract myself with some Netflix binges or a new book series.

    Every room in my house is clean and ready to go...except the garage. Maybe I'll tackle that :) Thanks

    If you feel up to it, go out and enjoy whatever you normally do. I've been going to the beach, movies, etc. with friends and/or my husband. I feel fine so there is no reason I need to stay home and do "baby things."

    I'm probably not telling you anything new but... Regular Exercise can help with anxiety as can getting some sunshine... Can you manage a workout outdoors or a brisk walk? Do you have any friends with kids or who are available during the week for regular catchups? Talking always helps relieve stress for me.... Catch up on TV series and movies you've been wanting to watch as it's hard to find the time with a new baby and it'll distract you from your anxiety for a while.... Good luck!

    I second the making extra meals and freezing them. Make some shopping lists and make a bunch of easy meals. Hubby was stuck making all the meals last time... This time I hope to have a freezer full
