I'm 18 weeks & im feeling really stressed, I feel like my family doesn't support me and I'm always feeling alone. Any advice on how to deal with stress?
Yes your baby can feel what you do it's easier said than done but try not to let it upset you. And when it does think about what I said
You're absolutely right! I'm glad I joined too cause I feel so connected with everyone here.
@gsjxo, that's why I joined this site because no one understands like women what we are going through ❤️I'm glad I could help
@byoung9, yes, I'm always feeling like my stress & the fact that they don't support me is gonna affect my baby. But you're absolutely right, at the end of the day, I'm the only person my child needs cause I'm the one that's always gonna be there. Thanks for the advice! Means a lot
@traciurbina, wow that must've sucked and I'm gonna try doing all of that. Thank you so much!
I understand what your going through. My family didn't support me either . And all I kept thinking about was how it would affect my child . But the most important part is realizing that your child needs people who will love them . So if it's just you and then against the world then so be it . It's better to not have them in your child's life making it harder for them . After all who's going to be there to wipe your child's tears away when they come home saying how their family doesn't love them , you that's who?! I would channel into what makes you happy right now. Find ways to excercise your frustration and stress like walking , yoga , writing etc . Most of all you have to find acceptance in all of it because if you don't nothing will work
I lived in a house with my husbands grandprents, trapped in 1 room cause they hated me, 700 miles away from my family during pregnancy. So, I feel your pain when you say feeling alone. Find ways to make it fun. Eat what you want, go where you want, buy some baby stuff, hang out with other moms. You got this!
I'm still trying to get a feel for this app but are there any STAHM here?
Ugh I love being pregnant but I'm always so freaking angry! I rage out so hard😒 I'm always stressed and i just feel like I'm in this alone 😑
Excuse me ladies but don't take this the wrong way but this is the good time to smoke weed but nope I'm pregnant... all this stress and I'm pregnant.
Just found mold all over in our apartment. I'm so stressed out. I'm due in a month and we don't have a place where I feel safe bringing baby home to. I can't stop crying. And now I'm having contractions probably from stress

Omg this just happened I'm feeling overwhelmed and a bit stressed
