I am 21 weeks pregnant with twins. Its my second pregnancy and generally has been the same as my first (as in very easy and uneventful) albeit with a much bigger bump!
One thing i have noticed which is different to my last pregnancy is this completely irrational stressing and worrying that I am doing! Initially it started when I found out it was twins and I started worrying about the fact we currently live in a 2 bed house, how expensive childcare is going to be etc -- all pretty rational things to worry about I guess but I barely slept for a few weeks because of it all. I got through all of that - put some plans in place and did some research and working out of sums etc so that these things were no longer unknown and that seemed to help.
Now however I have noticed that I am pretty much worrying or getting anxious over everything even things which are not baby or money related!
Last night for instance I lay awake for hours worrying that if my husband takes our 8mo puppy for a walk today and lets him off his lead he might have trouble getting him to come back! (he has days where he is a bit mischievous and although he always comes back when you call him sometimes he comes back but stays more than an arms length away so you cant the lead back on him - he does this more with me than my husband though). And now, I know that my husband is out with the dog at this moment and I am getting anxious again thinking that he is going to have trouble getting him back! Its completely ridiculous but my hands are sweating, my heart is racing and I cannot concentrate at all at work!!
is this normal (as in normal for all the random pregnancy symptoms!)?
