Anxiety

This is my first time being pregnant and I have so much anxiety. I'm anxious about everything! Doing things right for the baby, how my body feels, my diet, my weight - EVERYTHING. I wish I could just calm down and enjoy being pregnant because other than gaining weight right off the bat it hasn't been that bad. Any suggestions for a newly pregnant first time mom? Thanks =]

Re: Anxiety

First things first - take a deep breath and let it out. Now, go to the store and buy yourself snacks and a magazine. Throw a comfortable nightshirt in the cart, and maybe go ahead and throw in a baby book or a blank journal. Grab that chocolate bar you've been craving and get some ice cream too. Do you sense a theme? Spoil YOURSELF.

Once the baby arrives, you will be up to your ears in baby stuff. You will lose sleep, have nearly every minute of the day accounted for, and probably have too many things on your to-do list then you can ever remember there being. But that's okay. Being a mom is one of the best feelings in the world. The first time they look at you, smile, giggle, grab your hand, and call you "mommy."

But until this child is born, you are able to do the things that you've always taken for granted. Take advantage of this being your first pregnancy and milk it - you will look back on this time and smile when you remember how wonderful it felt to sit on the couch with the gallon of ice cream at 3pm and not think about when the baby is getting up, or when the next feeding is, or any other concern a mother has flying through her mind at any given point. Enjoy this time!

Thank you!

Thanks for your helpy guys =] I've been so worried about the baby I've forgotten all about me! If I'm not happy and healthy how can I expect the baby to be? I have my first doctor's appointment today and I am nervous and excited all at once. Maybe this weekend I will go to a nice dinner or do something especially for me. Thanks again, I feel a lot better! =]

Re: Anxiety

Hi, Its normal. I have it too. I cant stop thinking about my little one. When I start gettting stressed/anxious about the baby I tend to start reading parenting magazines and articles about pregnancy online. It makes me feel better to read others stories and know Im not crazy for feeling this way or the symptoms are normal or that other people think the same things. I also have been watching more mommy/baby shows. It makes me feel more prepared like I know more about what I am getting into, what struggles I will probably have and how people handle them. The 2 shows I recommend watching are Private Practice and Teen Mom. Watching these tv series has really helped me. You can watch them on netflix, mtv, abc, and other sites or on regular tv like normal people but I still prefer to watch them online so I dont have to wait for the next episodes.
