P.,

I am sorry that you're not feeling well.:(

I am sending well wishes your way for sure!!

This pregnancy discomfort is all a means to an end...a wonderful end that you have been longing for...your baby! :)

...I say this not to minimize what you are going through...I know it is challenging!

...but to encourage you to keep going, because it is going to be so worth it!

Use your positive visualization to help get you through.

Thanks, S.C.

I think the real difficulty that I'm having, is confusing pregnancy symptoms with panic symptoms.

Instead of just accepting that what I'm feeling is related to being pregnant, I'm allowing these physical sensations to take me to an anxious place.

I need to work on reminding myself that these are just feelings, but I am in no real danger. Aside from the headaches, I suppose I should count my lucky stars that I'm not praying to the porcelain Gods! Oh my gosh, can you imagine what a mess I would be then?!

Everyone knows how I feel about tossing my cookies!! 😳

P.,

A change in mantra for you...instead of my old favorite:

"This is just anxiety making me feel this way."

....................................................................

"This is just pregnancy making me feel this way."

LOL!! ;p

Hugs,

S.C.

So sorry you're feeling down today park. Pregnancy can be rough and I know it's even rougher when we have anxiety. I know you've heard it before but try to do your slow breathing and listen to some meditation videos tonight. Sending you a big hug and hope you feel better.

You're going to be alright Park
Pregnancy is a high anxiety time
Try going on youtube and type in mindful meditation
I find the guided meditations work best with me- very calming
wishing you all my best
