so I'm almost 23 weeks. and I have been experiencing the worst anxiety. today I hyperventilated so bad that I passed out and hit my head on the stove. I'm a first time mom that is scare shitless (please excuse my French) to deliver and be a single mom. Any advice from my fellow mommy friends?

@marandagriffith95 I'm 21. having my first with no help its scary
I was like that with my first. but honestly when she came, my instincts kicked in and u just know how to be everything the baby needs. I didn't even care that he wasnr around or helpful. yeah it gets hard sometimes but u got it...trust me. just believe in yourself
I have alot of anxiety attacks at night along with nightmares and this is my second and I've never had an anxiety attack until this pregnancy my Dr said some people develop it during pregnancy and it goes away after you have the baby ,but just try and breathe when it happens I have to count and remember you can do this I was a single mother with my first at 15 and he's 5 now and happy and healthy as can be , you got this!
@avie I suppose you're right. its just a big change. And I'm about to be doing it alone and I guess in a way I never foresaw this in my future. and I never foresaw my child being what broke me and my fiance up. its frustrating and its constant fear that I might not have made the right choice. and that scares me so bad. so bad. like I know I work myself up too much. but I don't know what to expect. and at the same time that I love my baby I'm just scared
I'm so sorry you got hurt like that. I hope you're alright and resting today 😧😥 I'm a FTM with general anxiety also. It's of course elevated since I got pregnant and I sometimes get freaked out by the thought that my life is about to flip upside down. It scares me to think my life won't revolve around just me anymore but around baby. I know that sounds selfish but I think it's a pretty normal thing to worry about. The best things that help my anxiety are staying healthy, getting fresh air, exercise and in those anxious moments drinking calming teas. Since we're so far along and made the decision to be mommies we have to face our fears 😓 as scary as it may sound. I think the ones who worry most make the best moms at that. So I'm confident you'll be a good mom. If you need any reassurance or are feeling anxious, feel free to inbox me ✨☺️
I'm sure it's scary, but situations like this are what makes us resilient. The way I look at it is like this, (not sure with your case) but if our mommas did it so can we. We have more resources too compared to our parents.
