How do you stay positive?

Question

Do you have any strategies you can share? 
Reading negative posts here sometimes gets me all worried and I stop using the app for days to keep away from the effect. I like the community though, bc in the grand scheme of things most pregnancies are successful and it’s nice to be re-assured of that. 
I wish there was a way to switch positive thoughts and energy. I also try to watch comedy to keep me laughing and happy.

Answer

When I was pregnant I didn’t read any post related to miscarriage or negative stuff regarding pregnancy.
Did you watch Baby Cobra from Ali Wong? The first one is the best one (if you want some pregnancy related humor)

Answer

To be honest, I didn’t really stay positive... I was told 3 times during my pregnancy that I might lose my babies, so I don’t think I ever really felt sure that things would be ok. It was kind of a shock when my babies were born and they were fine! I always say to people to just take it a day and a week at a time - that’s all you can do.

Answer

Your doing great! We as humans have the beautiful ability to control our thoughts. Skip past the negative,  when you catch yourself thinking something negative talking to the babies always has seemed to help me. I have many loved ones who have passed on and I know they are right here with us helping my babies and I along. I haven't prayed in YEARS until I found out I was pregnant. I don't believe in God like most so maybe it's more like meditation? But I pray for my babies. I pray for strength in myself. I also have affirmations I use anytime I'm thinking something negative (because TOO many people want you to "be warned" of miscarriages) I say things like you are fighters. You are survivors. You are loved. You are safe. Affirmations to my babies bring me peace. I don't even say them in front of my SO it's a very personal thing for me. I am terrified of all things medical. I'm terrified about having these babies.. but if I let it be a passing thought and talk to my babies with confidence, I can stay positive and conected.
