“Am I ever going to want to hold and nurture my baby?”

“Do these feelings mean that I’m a bad mother?”

Paradoxical emotions amalgamate as motherhood emerges. The convergence of biological changes, a shifting identity, and a lifestyle metamorphosis galvanizes a spectrum of previously foreign feelings. It’s customary to traverse a continuum of emotions during the initial moments of this rite of passage.

“Is my partner disappointed that I’m not the mother he thought I would be when we decided to start a family?”

At some point or another however your pregnancy will catch up with you, and you will need to slow down a little bit. Rather than see this is as a burden, consider this a great time to prepare yourself for the life you are about to bring into the world. Take some time to pamper yourself a bit and give yourself more time for rest and relaxation during the week. This can be time that you spend just with yourself and your baby, without having to share with the world around you.Give up some control. Having a baby changes everything. If you are the type of person that likes to be in control, keep in mind that there are many things related to pregnancy and child raising that will be out of your control. You won’t for example be able to sail through pregnancy without any aches and pains (unless you are extraordinarily lucky) but you can work to minimize them. You may have other symptoms such as fatigue and nausea that don’t go away. Some women have to go on bed rest during pregnancy. Simply recognizing however that some things are not under your control will help you get a better grip on your pregnancy and arm you to face the challenges that lie ahead.Expect the unexpected. You just never know what will happen when you are pregnant. Your baby for example, might decide to come a few weeks early. You may find that midway through your pregnancy your physician recommends bed rest. If you prepare for the unexpected ahead of time however, when it happens it won’t seem like such a challenge and you will be better prepared to handle it.Maintain close ties with friends, family and loved ones. Pregnancy is an emotional time. The more people you have around you to lean on, the less likely you will be to feel stressed.Accept help. Let people know when you can use a hand. You don’t have to manage everything alone during pregnancy. If people offer to help you out and relieve some of the burden you are facing, be glad that there are people around you that love you enough to help out.Another important thing to consider during pregnancy is communication. It is particularly important that you keep the lines of communication open with your partner during pregnancy. Remember that pregnancy is a very emotional time, and many women act in ways they would not ordinarily during their pregnancy. Don’t assume that your partner is a mind reader. This assumption has negatively impacted many relationships. If you have concerns, anxiety, feel sad or are even angry, be sure you share your feelings with your loved ones. Let people know what you are experiencing physically and emotionally and how it is affecting you. This will help them understand where you are coming from, and will help them learn the best way to help you during your pregnancy.If you haven’t considered a prenatal massage already, you should during your pregnancy. Prenatal massage can be particularly helpful during the third trimester when your body is feeling burdened by the heavy load it is carrying. There are many qualified practitioners that offer prenatal massage in medical offices, chiropractic offices and even in traditional spa settings.

She has had two periods on time and feels like she is about to start a third again on time. Also, we have taken three pregnancy tests, the first was four days before her first period, the second was about 2 ½ weeks after her first period, and the last was in the ob/gyn office about 9 weeks after the unprotected sex. Tehy all were negative. Could she be pregnant?

Well im going to start by saying i am the biggest hypercondriac you may ever meet?
I have also been under a lot of stress lately, my boyfriend who is my everything, just got locked up for 6 months. i feel totally lost w/o him! My parents and i barley get along.. my mother and i usually do, but not my father and i. We are constantly arguing, schools a stress factor for me too!

Well i thought i had a brain tumor because i had been twitching, in my head (it feels rather “unsteady” and moves “uncontrollably” at time.) twitchings in my arms, legs, feet, hands, this is usually in the morning, however happens anytime of the day. I get shakey, been getting headaches in weird places but not severe headaches, and not followed by nausea. these headaches are on top, sometimes, sides, and back of head, also some in neck, slightly. I been sleepy earlier then usual. Feeling “weird” unreal?, Seeing floaters, no double vision or blacking out! I do vomit when i get really stressed and if i cry to hard. I went to doc a while back and he sed i had a mild sinus infection. Had some ear “buzzing” like a vibration! This is why im scared its a brain tumor! Idk the symptoms, but that was my first thought, but like i said, ima hypercondriac!

I’m 2 days past due for AF but got a – test yesterday morning. Now I’m having cramping that goes from my sides down to my lower belly. That and there’s like a small cramping feeling I get when I pee, and I went to the Dr. and they said it wasn’t a bladder infection or UTI or anything. But I forgot to ask them for a blood test. Also my anxiety level has gone up a bit.

I was just wondering if anyone who is or has been pregnant has had symptoms similar to this, or if anyone might know what it mean.

I feel like I may have GAD. I have had unexplained headaches for the last 8 months. Almost daily. I have terrible tension in my neck and shoulders constantly. I am unable to relax. I worry constantly (excessively) that something bad will happen to me or my family. I can’t go to banks except the drive through and even then I have this horrible fear of being robbed. I can’t go to gas stations or grocery stores at night by myself. I can’t go hardly anywhere just me and my baby because I feel so vulnerable. Like an easy target. (this started when I was in my last trimester) I check door locks. I can’t sleep at night because I wake up at ever little sound and check locks and windows and look out the blinds or check on the baby (only when my husband is out of town). I didn’t used to be this bad. My only issue before was I couldn’t get up in front of people and talk. I would have a panic attack. I dropped out of college because they told me I couldn’t graduate without public speaking. I used to be able to jog at night alone in my neighborhood. I can hardly do it during the day now. I feel like somebody will try to abduct me or something horrible. Its quite dibilitating. However, I’m able to go to work and function well and when I’m not home alone, I do fine. I’m a good wife and mother. I keep a spotless, organized home. I’m not depressed at all. I’ve never had ill thoughts of my baby. Which is why I lean toward GAD and not post partum. My son is just over a year old and I didn’t think post partum lasted this long. I never got the blues. Its just this anxiety about being hurt or my baby being hurt. I avoid so many basic situations because I will panic. When my husband is gone and I have to run to walmart at night to pick up something I will almost RUN to my car out of fear. Its horrible and I don’t know why it started to get bad during my pregnancy. I know you say “just go to a doctor” but that is another cause of so much stress. I have over 7400 in medical bills between the birth and then the ridiculous headaches I started having about 6 months post partum. If I were to sever my arm I wouldn’t want to go to the doc because I’m SO sick of medical bills. I hate to owe money to anybody. It stresses me out. My husband and I are not well off. We have a small savings but live generally paycheck to paycheck so shelling out 4200 bucks within 9 months is alot of money to us. I also dont’ want to have to take some medication daily. I was on zoloft for about 6 minutes years ago for pmdd and hated it. Tried topomax and felt like a zombie. I on’t need medicine every day. I just need medicine on the nights my husband is gone, or if I have to run errands alone or something like that. I’m also easily irritated. I have road rage. I stay keyed up and on edge most of the time. What do you think?

Just wondering.
