Less Stress During Pregnancy Posted: 12-19-07 12:53pm
to those who have been through it...
what's your best advice to try to keep it
off your mind and to try to keep from
being stressed out like crazy! Is there
something special you do/did?

You should take a pregnancy test since
your period is already late. You may find
you are worrying needlessly and a
pregnancy test will put it all out in the
open.
Right now you are worrying in 'what ifs'
and what you need to be doing is having
something concrete to work with. Putting
off taking a test is only going to make
you crazier.
TAKE A TEST!!!!

Pregnancy is a stressful time - especially
if it is unplanned. Women deal with a lot
of depression and anxiety when they are
pregnant. The risks of Post Partum
Depression and pregnancy depression are
high when a pregnancy is unplanned.
If you are pregnant, you should really
discuss this with your doctor to find ways
of managing the stress/anxiety/etc. You
don't want to let it spiral out of
control.

Remember to take some time for yourself
and reflect on all that has happened, and
everything that's going on. You need time
to process things. Also, alone time is
especially important while pregnant. You
won't see it again for another 10 years.
