I’m 20 weeks pregnant and lately I’ll be overcome with a wave of anxiety/grief. You know that feeling when your heart aches after a bad breakup or a death of a loved one? That’s what it feels like. It’ll just show up out of nowhere and linger for a few seconds and then go away for a couple hours and repeat itself.

Besides these random waves of ungodly heartache I’m blissfully happy. My husband and I are on cloud 9, I have great friends and have had no problems at work.

I’ve talked to friends about it and they say I probably just need to have myself a good crying session. I was just wondering if anyone else has been feeling this way.

I would cry it out if I knew what was bothering me but I honestly have no idea where these feelings are coming from.

This is my first pregnancy and I haven’t been emotional at all. I don’t cry at sad stories or commercials or when McDonald’s is out of chicken nuggets (lol) I wonder if because I’m “keeping it bottled in” this is the result.
