mom making anxiety worse
I have a high risk pregnancy because I lost a baby at 21 weeks in 2015. I'm now 28 weeks with our rainbow girl. Any time I feel a little off I get super nervous and worried but I try to keep it together. Today baby has been flipping around a lot and the movements have been somewhat painful. I've been resting and breathing deep... so my mother asks "you don't think this means the baby is coming now? Is it preterm labor?" INSTANT anxiety and panic! Why does she say things like that when she knows I'm already on edge? A few days ago she said I better get married to my partner in case something happens to him which caused me to have a full on panic attack. She is causing me so much stress and I feel like it's impacting my overall health. Thinking I might need to limit my contact with her until the baby is born. I know I'm being sensitive but I also think it's normal to be nervous and want reassurance, right? Anyone else's mother making their anxiety worse? It's really getting me down.
