How do you ladies destress? I’ve had a lot on my mind lately and I’m to the point idk what to do. I’ve been stressed about work once the baby comes because I work on 100% commission so I can’t really take maternity leave, but we couldn’t afford daycare were in the middle of building a house and I’m not positive we will have it done before baby arrives, my car recently broke down and after going 3 weeks without one my parents let me borrow money to buy a new one so now I gotta figure out how to pay them back then today my mom tells me my dads cancer spread to his bones. I’m a complete daddy’s girl and he’s only 52. Feeling very down right now and I know it’s not good for the baby. 😭

Im so sorry to hear all of that. During times like this there is nothing we can really do to prevent stress. I was stress throughout my entire pregnancy even when i knew it wasnt good for baby.
BUT, there was one thing that helped me to cope with my state of mind and that was this app. One day i came upon a mama in here who delivered her twins prematurely. Unfortunately, one baby only made it pass a day or two and the other was in critical condition. I dont know if she uses this app anymore since she was going through a really tough time... but her story inspired me to stop stressing. Why? Because the Dr told her that there was nothing wrong with her except that stress was what caused her babies to deliver premature. She encouraged me not to stress so everytime i find myself stressing i reminded myself of her story and it would help to calm me down for my babys sake.
A lot of mamas in here talks about stress and i always share her story in hopes that it would change our minds a little if when we are under stress. Keeping you and your family in our prayers dear. Prayers for your dad too.
