Dealing with stressful situations during pregnancy

[FLEUR93]

I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with my first baby. We tried for year so my husband and I were delighted when we found out we were expecting in January but with all the stress of covid I've found it tough. Things have taken a massive turn for the worse as my husbands brother has become homeless so is living with us on our sofa in our tiny flat. I now feel I cant relax in my own home and honestly dont know what to do if we cant find him somewhere before the baby arrives. I'm not sleeping and spending the night crying. How do you cope with pregnancy emotions and get a grip? I'm so worried about the affect of all this upset on the baby

Hey x with your brother in law write to local council explaining his situation tell them effect its having on you they should try there best to help, if not any friend or family he could go to even just a few dayss?

I'm around 27 weeks sleep is literally all that's on my mind and it makes me more agitated!! I'm awake from 1 till well now 4.43 normally stressing over every life situation there ever was. I've found getting up making a warm drink helps.

Last week I was using hemp body cream from bodyshop it's a real intensive moisturiser I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence or it helped but its the most sleep I've had for weeks!! I've ordered a bigger tube and the show gel to try. It kinda smells like the hippy shops but that doesn't stick around long on the skin . Lavender works for some but I can't stand the stuff!!

This might sound mad to but because I stress over everything I've started laying in bed planning like house jobs 😂 wardrobe sorting to moving stuff round..... I found it stops me escalating more emotional situations in the middle of the night!!
And lastly Ive tried my best to stop picking up my phone at stupid o'clock unless I'm up for the day I've tried not to sit all night scrolling x
