I am doubting to tell work early. I am not feeling particularly well, primarily suuuuuper tired and sleeping badly. But therefore less able to do my job..

I dont know why but I seem to have a bit of an anxiety now thinking my baby is small.

I’ve been stressed for the past four months because I haven’t had insurance to see my doctor about the baby.

It’s been one thing after another and I am so stressed and upset about everything I am physically in pain. Constant chest pain, stomach cramping, can’t breathe sometimes and I haven’t felt the baby move as much as ...

Why is this a thing? My husband and I were having a good, normal day yesterday but on our way home from the grocery store, I got pissy about the smallest thing and got extremely pissed off at my husband for no reason and possibly almost broke the door on his newish truck.
