How to deal with the stress?

Question

So I am pregnant 15w1day today with our rainbow baby and find out my baby's gender tomorrow. We had a miscarriage at 18w in Nov. Every since the moment I found out I was pregnant I have been super stressed. How do you deal with the everyday stress and worry? My doctor has assured me that what happened was rare and mostly likely to not happen again but it's getting harder everyday to relax and not worry.

Answer

Everyone needs their own coping skill. I have tried so many things. My personal favorite is dancing in my bedroom to UK House music. Uh-huh. For real.

I also do yoga and listen to these goofy videos on YouTube for ASMR. These things work to chill me. Oh and shopping. But that's a sickness IMO.

All of these are better for baby than stess. My kids like jumping on the trampoline and going for walks. My husband draws pictures (or drinks but don't do that).

My MIL suggested visualization for my SIL. She would sit and rub her belly and talk to the baby and visualize it growing and swimming. Some ideas.
