Increased stress levels

I'm 32 weeks and I'm stressed all the time. The fact is that I've no reason at all. My husband tries to keep me calm and my work doesn't have much stress. It's just that I can feel it in my body. I feel that I'm stressed, I feel that I'm gonna burst at times. My mind makes up all stupid reasons for the stress, but it doesn't help. I don't like to talk to anyone other than my husband and both families. I don't even wanna talk to my friends. I just want to sit with my husband all day and play Sudoku. I feel ridiculous. I know that I'm supposed to be calm and happy now, but I'm the opposite. Anyone has any tips. I just can't calm down. Am I the only one, or is it common at this stage? #1stimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby #pregnancy

Yes mum it is common due to the hormonal change in your body. 1. Have a good support network, 2. Have good rest 3. Cut back on activities you don’t need to do 4. Eat healthy foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise 5. Try relaxation activities, like prenatal yoga or meditation.

Thank you

I totally know what you mean. I have those little frustrations that build up to a big stress and had a breakdown. Like a full out crying session and expressing everything while my husband comforts me. I feel so much better after that. haha
