hello mumsnet pregnant ladies
this is not about corona virus, it's about all the rest of it...i really like being pregnant but it will be great to see the baby and know all of my efforts have turned out a nice healthy baba. in the meantime i have become a bit of a perfectionist, trying to eat properly and exercise properly and not feel anxiety in case the baby feels it. yesterday i found hen poop in my bag of kale (i was not an eater of kale before getting pregnant) and i felt i had failed. i was terrified i had eaten some even tho i am so good at washing my veg (i was not before!) i ate biscuits and sat on the sofa and actually didn't feel anxious that much. do you feel this way too? always that i am not doing enough and that i might be doing something to hurt the baby? my midwife says this is normal and i do feel i have a normal amount of anxiety, and i don't feel it all the time. i'm just sick of the feeling of terror that crops up every now and again.
anyone else out there?
