Feeling on an even keel

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone would be able to offer some advice if they had been through something similar.

I am a generally very anxious person about lots of different things and was so worried when, I got pregnant with my first that I wouldn’t be able to cope with the spiralling anxiety of being pregnant. However weirdly I felt the calmest I had felt in years. I didn’t have the ups and downs of a normal periods/cycles and just felt on an even keel for the first time in my life. I had a small blip a couple of days after birth but honestly felt really good until I stopped breastfeeding a year later and periods came back.

I’m now pregnant with my second and feeling more anxious than ever, desperately hoping for the even keel feeling to kick in! I don’t remember exactly when it happened first time round.

Just wondering if anyone had felt similar during pregnancy and could offer any words of advice/reassurance

thanks for reading x
