Anyone else super anxious suddenly??

Question

Baby is due in 4 weeks and I'm suddenly just so anxious! Can I actually handle two kids? How is my mental health going to do with limited sleep? Am I going to have panic attacks trying to do this?! 😭 I've been so excited and now I'm just BLAH!

Answer

Same here. This is going to be my first baby and my anxiety has been terrible these last couple of weeks. To the point of panic attacks (which are terrifying and really suck). I'm absolutely petrified that I'm going to get post-partum depression/psychosis. I know it may sound silly but it's a real fear. Please pray for me! My thoughts and prayers will be with you mommas also!

Answer

Broke down yesterday after my husband and step son were giving me a hard time about something which was also after my birthing class which was just a lot to process... and then today trying to get the house ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. 
I haven't cried this whole pregnancy except one day when my husband kept me up late while he was drinking and complaining about work and I was exhausted 😂 
But I think it's just everything going on. 3 weeks before the end of work. 6 weeks until baby is expected... Trying to finish everything, feeling like my step kids are just not even willing to try and help around the house unless they're being constantly yelled at which is stressful cause I don't want to be the evil step mom or parents... Never getting proper sleep anymore... Constantly sore and with acid reflux ...  😓 Just done.

Answer

I understand how you feel. I’ve been up and down too many times to count through this pregnancy #2 and about to have 2 under 2. 😯 
All I know is, it’s been done before! It is possible and You can do this!! :)

Answer

Its normal to feel this way I am expecting my 2nd as well and lately have been getting anxiety thinking about the same thing, will I be able to do this?! But then I think to myself and say YES I WILL! Ive gone through things and survived through things that shouldve defeated me and I am a bad mama jamma ready to do this again my first child is 3 shes healthy shes happy and she loves me and my second will too. You will be more than okay, you are strong just for carrying the responsibility of being a mommy. Just focus on all the positives, soon youll hold your baby ❤️

Answer

Yes! So many negative thoughts have been popping up in my head recently. Will I be a good mom? How am I going to handle work full time being so exhausted? And even worse stuff like just not even having the energy to get ready like I used to makes me anxious. Makes me anxious that I don’t feel like going out anymore. Will I ever go back
to my normal self again?! 😭

Answer

Yes! Feeling overwhelmed very suddenly. This week have been just awful at my house and have had the happiness drained from me lol 
My almost 2 year old and I have been struggling with a stomach virus. Everyday I have to sanitizer his room and anything else he’s been around because it’s covered in diarrhea or vomit. Really hoping today was last morning. I can’t take it anymore and my washing machine is very tired lol 
It makes me wonder if I’ll be able to handle these types of situations when our baby girl arrives. Honestly makes me think I might have to get on some type of anxiety medication to not have a total meltdown every 5 minutes.

Answer

Same here. My only child currently is five and I just get so emotional thinking about how our routine and bond with change. He’s such a mama’s buddy and loves hugs, kisses, playing and telling each other we love each other. I know our connection with change slightly just because of the needs and nurturing a new baby brings and that’s just anxiety inducing hoping he knows he’s still my buddy and not being replaced by little sister. This stage is hard! The unknown is hard.

Answer
