Mood swings

Hi all moms out there. It is my first pregnancy and I am at week 16 now. I am always feeling very low and insecure abt myself and the arrival of the baby... my family and my husband is very supportive but I just can't help myself feeling this way and always overthink that I cannot take good care of the baby once he is out..(I just hope it is the pregnancy hormones that is screwing me up I was not like this before) I have a lot of anxiety also coz my friends do not have kids yet and there is no one to talk to... #1stimemom

Hi mama, I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling down these days. While the hormones definitely do contribute to the mood swings, it’s not good to stay in this state either. Have you tried writing or journaling about how you’re feeling? Sometimes, writing it out can help us to feel better. It may also help you identify what you’re feeling anxious about. If the anxiety stems from being a first time mum and not knowing what to expect, may I suggest a birth class? Knowledge empowers us to make decisions for ourselves and helps us to understand better what’s going on during our pregnancy. Don’t keep it all in mama. Do reach out to all of us here okay :)
