10 weeks pregnant panic!?

[Nss95]

Hi all, I’m 10w 2d today and over the last week or so and especially today I am starting to panic unlike ever before, is it normal to feel this way? It just sort of feels like I’m in a dream state at the moment! I’m going to be a single mum and I’m fine with that, I work hard and have savings so that’s not what I’m worried about, in fact I don’t really know what the worry is.. it’s just like a constant kind of panic dream like state I’m in which feels really strange! I told my dad the news that I was pregnant yesterday and he said he’ll support me and is pretty excited tbf but weirdly that’s made me feel abit more anxious and weird about the whole thing... I still have to tell my mother and that’s another thing I’m worried about but I think she’ll be disappointed but supportive too. Just wanted to know if anyone has felt the same or if I’m just overthiking everything. THANKYOU! X

First - congratulations!

It is absolutely normal for your emotions to be all over the place right now. Not only are your hormones all over the place but this is a huge, if wonderful, life change. I'm at 14 and 2, and I've felt like that at times too. It sounds like you have some legitimate reasons to be anxious (concerns about telling your mother) so that's going too feed into this sense of panic too.

I don't think you need to panic about panicking. (If that makes sense.)

I've found yoga acne mindfulness very helpful for grounding myself.

Also, you'll probably have your booking appointment soon. Your midwife will ask you about your mental health. If you mention it then, she may be able to give you some advice, and you'll have one more person looking out for you.

Also, you might find that, as you start telling people, just having more people to talk to will help. Good luck with it all OP.

Yoga and mindfulness! No acne required.
