Dealing with anxiety

Alex

How do you deal with the anxiety associated with the first trimester? I’m constant with the “What ifs” I even talked myself DOWN before I took a test because I didn’t want to get my hopes up. Of course it ended up positive so that puts me at 4 weeks.

I wish I can just stop and enjoy this time but I feel like I’m pushing everyone (including my 2 year old son) away because I’m so consumed with worrying it’s hard for me to be emotionally present. It doesn’t help that we’re somewhere cold so getting outside and active is near impossible until the weather decides to be nice, my son starts art class next week (with parent participation) I’m hoping that’ll be my saving grace so I can finally get out of my own head 😔
