I wanna know how you ladies who are/were preggers kept yourself stressfree… past week has been nothing but an emotional roller coaster ride for me. I have been crying nonstop … I have my reasons but I wanna learn to be one of those happy moms… coz I know my mood affects my child and he/she comes out that way… and I want a smiling happy go lucky baby…
I fight for no reason, snap and then sob like God forbid it is the end of the world… my diet sucks right now… I only eat 2 times a day and that is regular khana…no milk, yoghurt or extra fruits… I don’t even feel hungry … how do I make myself serene and just happy…
Pls share your tips and tricks… Right now nothing is as imp to me as having a healthy happy baby…
well if its just horomones.. then try to take up doing something u like doing.. i used to read a lot.. i used to blog a lot.. and well.. organise a lot.. i spent a lot of time in teh nursery... just looking at baby stuff calmed me down..
but if its something going on everyday .. a problem with someone that u live with.. then its best to talk it out...
how do you know its hormones.... I am just in a tight situation right now... I know in time it will get sorted out but am scared ...add to that all the questions that are popping up left and right I don't know how to calm everyone else down when there is turmoil within me... it was easy peesy earlier coz I could cry alone but now I just break down where ever I am...
and the turmoil inside me is making me more anxious for my baby... I would like a calm happy baby for that I need to be calm and happy.... how do some women achieve that with all the chaos around them...
Know that you cannot control the whole world, neither do you have to control everything that goes on around you. Trust in Allah to see you through, inshallah all will work itself out, u don't need to be making each step happen.
i'm sure its harmones. u hav to stop getting into arguements n let go more. if things bother u get urself out of the situation n walk away. some sort of exercise, bath, dance etc watever distracts u. i experienced that taking omegas regularly helped me a lot in keeping calm. also u need to eat more even if u r not hungry. set ur meal n snack times n follow them religiously. soon ur body will follow. lack of proper nutrition n rest affects our stress fighting abilities too.
Read and listen to Qur'an frequently, do zikr, pray...these things will create calmness inside of you when there is chaos around you. Also, plz try to eat healthy, look at ultrasound pics if you have to. Your baby is totally dependent on you for nutrition.
automne77: PLEASE try to calm down and enjoy your pregnancy because for the next pregnancy (IA) you wont be even bothered about yourself while running after the first one all day long for example, I remember being extra careful about not getting up without turning my side from bed (that reduces any pressure on the uterus and is really important) for my first one but I hardly remember doing that this time when I have to suddenly get up to see what’s my little one upto
After reading what you are getting through, I realised I am experiencing the SAME but I hardly get any time to think about it. so I guess staying busy for an reason is a blessing maybe
awww hugs... its definitely hormones. how far along r u now automne? i m week 27 now and AH i enjoyed n still m the preg period cus i had no nausea or anything even once!! i m already a v sensitive and senti person so i cry at the drop of a hat!! maybe thaz y i dun feel so different even in preg although i m sure these days maybe i m so weepy and over sensitive cus of this too.
for God sake pls pls drink milk, have yogurt and fruits. this is a MUST. atleast have one glass of milk or with cornflakes every single day. trust me u dun wanna feel guilty for not doin enuff. many a times i sleep for like 9-10 hours at a strech and notin in my tummy.. i feel so bad but then wot to do i crave sleep more than anythin i wudnt like wakin up to eat only. i have my breakfast at 3pm (yeah i sleep this late!!!!!!!!!) cus i sleep at 7am. then have lunch about 5-6 then eat nothin and then finally eat somethin at 2am. so i m not sayin this is healthy... but atleast i eat 3 proper meals na. pls have salads also.
also i dun believe if u cry u will have acry baby. its true that stress is not gud for preg women and it has its effects on baby but lil cry here n there is not gonna affect ur baby badly. yeah cryin becus ure stressed with ur marital life or are fightin with hubs and all that mite have an effect (i hate myself for that but wot to do my life is not a bed of roses and each day is a struggle!).. but what can i do, if i dun cry then how will i feel better. just make sure u dun cry for hours and hours. take care of urself.
awww ladies thank you so much...sometimes you guys are really there for others... Jazak Allah khair...
@mall: I'm in my 19th week right now .... ending soon inshAllah. Am trying to keep myself calm that is why I turned to the ladies of gs to maybe find a way out.... now inshAllah from tomorrow gonna focus on eating well... I really really do need to incorporate yoghurt and milk in my diet...
As RupayHalwa said breathe...Correct form of breathing actually expels toxins and stress from your body. Take light walks especially when there is cool air or pleasant sunshine. It will really help. Try yoga for pregnancy. It will help now and even during labour.
From personal experience, I advise you please please take this time seriously...all you do affects the baby perhaps for life. Its probably a combination of hormones and circumstances, but dont ignore your emotional state. Talk to someone...have a healthy cry...keep yourself happy...watch funny movies sitcoms if you have to...it helps. Be physically active. Pray and spend few moments of alone time.
PS If you know that in time it will get sorted out then why waste your energy worrying? Be happpy :)
for example, I remember being extra careful about not getting up without turning my side from bed (that reduces any pressure on the uterus and is really important) for my first one but I hardly remember doing that this time when I have to suddenly get up to see what’s my little one upto
