hi!! i’m 18 weeks and also have been feeling extremely alone and negative towards myself. one thing i’ve found that works for me is getting out of the house and doing something whether it’s just a car ride or going to the store for a couple mins. I’ve also been trying to establish a routine with myself even if it’s basic stuff when i wake up like brushing my hair or teeth etc. i’ve found being on a little bit of a schedule or having things to do have helped me. if you ever want to talk tho u can message me!
I will try that!
@Alexis 18 weeks and experiencing all the same things. I agree that a schedule or daily to do list really pushes me to get out the bed and get something done.
I was wondering why I had a sudden change of heart and emotions. I have been on edge and keep fighting with my husband. I am bombarded with negative thoughts and emotions. This is so horrible. First trimester was hard with nausea and fatigue and I did not expect this in my 2nd trimester. I am going to pray often to calm my mind and hope I can find peace in my heart so I can have better days.
@Aaliyah yes! even if it’s something small i try to make myself do at least 1 thing a day for myself!
I believe and live that mental health in pregnancy is very important I am going through the same thing thank God my baby and I are perfect ❤️🙏
You’re def not alone. I’ve been feeling down for a while now, mostly because I’m exhausted and I still don’t feel good (dry heaving at 16 weeks when I thought the nausea was over) but also I’ve been getting these random pangs of sadness and they start from the belly area. They’re somatic, rather than from my mind. They’re sudden and alarming and I feel like crying.. and then they go away. I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t know how to cope , but it is a lonely experience.
@Jules I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m always here if you want to vent about it!
hey I struggle with my mental health every trimester 🫶🏾 hope this helps 😂😂😂 yoga and putting YOURSELF FIRST
Hi! I’ve definitely been more anxious in the second trimester. I think it’s because I don’t actually feel pregnant right now and the time in between doctors appointments feel so long. I’ve mostly been doing deep breathing exercises.
