How to not let anxiety get the best of you?

Question

I found out I was pregnant beginning of July and had a MC August 16th. I wasn’t trying to conceive when I got pregnant, so my emotions were all over the place when I found out.. Nervous then excited then devastated. Saturday I found out I am pregnant with my rainbow baby and I couldn’t be more excited. But my biggest worry is being stressed about my baby’s well being. How do I control my anxiety and not let that stress consume me??? 
Anyone have any pointers for keeping your cool ? Or any hobbies you picked up to keep yourself distracted? 
I need something before I overthink myself into a hole 😨

Answer

I don’t have any pointers exactly but try not to stress b/c stress on the body is any uneasy environment for your baby. Allow yourself to feel every emotion, you have the right. it would be good to maybe to get a counselor from the doctors I did and it’s been sooooooo goood! I love it it’s helped and the extra support is awesome I got a BFP too but under weird circumstances. Idk when my period is due this is my first period since D&C . But for me I’m just keeping my mind on building something for my future baby and taking care of my body day by day. If it’s not a chemical for me I’m going to wait to tell people and embrace everything . It’s just another blessing . I understand I feel nervous too. Message me if you need to and goodluck happy 9 months Congrats!!💕❤️😊you will be great. But definitely pick up a hobby you have a happy healthy stress free hobby ! That takes your mind of things . Lol maybe I did have some pointers

Answer

I have panic disorder and I get stressed out so easy, at the beginning of my pregnancy I was so worried constantly. My best advice is do things that make you happy (take a bath, read a book) I had to stop talking to some people that really stressed me and made me unhappy. I was on lexapro for my anxiety and then got off at 12 weeks. Definitely find good friends and family to talk to when you need the extra support, talking helps. My son is now 11 days old and he’s healthy and happy. You can do it just remember that if you do get overwhelmed a little its fine its hard to cut 0 stress and babies are resilient in there. Good luck xoxo
