in BPD moms
Crying
As a women with BPD and expecting a baby I notice that I cry all the time and my husband is saying that emotions are “hurting my baby, and that if I cared about my daughter I would not be emotional” has anyone else felt this extremely emotional during pregnancy? I am trying my best to use my dbt skills and to control my emotions, but I’m so scared of being a first time mother and I want to be the best mom I can be for my child but I already feel like I’m failing as a mom

I’ll smack him up side the head for you. You are allowed to cry, and you sound like youre absolutely doing your best. 🫶🏼🫂 even if there’s fear, you know you’re using the skills you have & attempting to do your best.
Stress and thus cortisol can be unhealthy for a developing baby but if you’re just emotional and crying (watching a sad movie and crying for example, recalling a sad memory) then it’s not going to be harmful.
I’m sorry it doesn’t sound like your husband is very supportive

You’re pregnant. Your hormones are beyond your control. Being emotional is NORMAL. He’s gaslighting you. Do you have a safe space you can go to & leave him?
