Nicholas Gomez3 said:The thing that caught me most off guard during my Pregnancy is the sheer volume of anxiety I feel regarding the baby.

I’d honestly rather endure a three-day migraine than let fear swallow me whole like an Advil could.
I’m terrified the baby will be born with health issues or won't make it at all.
I'm scared my own body might fail me.
I'm scared the doctors will completely screw things up during or after delivery.

I also worry that if I push for a natural birth, I'll end up hurting the baby because I don't have the medical expertise of a doctor—yet, at the same time, I have zero faith in their decisions after everything I've read about medical horror stories.

Uh-huh... I’m going to have to start chanting mantras that everything will be fine, or I'm going to lose my mind.

I know exactly what you're going through.☕

What really gets under my skin is how people in the community constantly lecture me about how I shouldn't say this or that because I might get "too emotional" or take things too personally, when honestly, most of them are acting like total crybabies during their 3 PM slump—and they aren't even pregnant. It’s pure hypocrisy.
And before anyone tries to claim that the hormones haven't affected me at all, let me be clear: I have an incredibly short fuse and my patience for debating people has basically hit zero, which has been the case for several months now. 😬
