Stressing out bad dont know what to do?

Question

im 21 weeks pregnant and stressing out realy realy badly about everything from my relationship and how i look to my uni course and getting sick

is it just hormones making me feel terrible all the time? the stress is making me sick and iv got no energy and am tired and sad all of the time and dont know what to do?

my mum and partner want me to stop my uni course cause of the stress and to finish it after having the baby but i dont want to be a failure.

also im getting grumpy at my partner over the stupidest things esp if he notices other girls not even perving on them just normal things like commenting about dumb teenagers running across the road and nearly getting hit even that makes me so upset. and when i feel upset i start stressing and thinking i would be better off single and want to break up with him and scream and cry even though he hasnt done anything wrong. is this normal?

and im finding it hard to feel pretty with all the body changes and worry when theres pretty girls around and worry that my bf will look at them cause of how bad i look i thought that i got over these feelings ages ago

is this stress normal pregnacy symptoms or slight depression??

Answer 1

All these things are completely normal feelings. I beleive all women have different ups and downs of emotions during pregnancy. Some types of stress can actually be good for you (it sparks something in us to perform better and function more effectively) or it can be bad for us(when it gets out of control making us anxious, sleepless or depressed). The best thing to do is first learn to handle it... In all honesty if we don't take the time to understand what could possibly be upsetting us, we shouldn't expect others to. Start by talking about, to any one, do not allow your emotions to bottle up. By doing this you may be able to find some relief, some solutions, and possibly humor. Lets face it but men will never truly understand the hormal changes and mood swings women go through during pregnancy so sometimes we need to explain things to them in a way they can understand (I personally cried over the growth of my ankles. When i was done, i felt so rediculous!) Sleep it off... it can often regenerate our mind and bodies. (I like to take nice warm baths first but what ever works) And just remember to relax, take it easy.... do whatever it is that takes your mind off things. Just enjoy being pregnant.. Good luck and I hope things start to fall into place.
