Anxiety tips for early pregnancy

I've had a lot of you writing to be recently asking for advice on dealing with anxiety in early pregnancy. And while I've created videos on this before (linked below). I wanted to add three other ideas for managing pregnancy anxiety.

I am almost at 6 weeks, anxiety and insomnia are the worst combination. I have wanted this pregnancy with all my heart and I just want everything to be okay. Whenever I start feeling really happy that Im pregnant I start to worry im getting ahead of myself! Thank you for this video ❤

I’m almost at 5 weeks. Same point as when I started a chemical pregnancy in January. Today is hard…..that’s why I’m here. Thank you!! ❤️🙏🏽

I’m currently 5 weeks and the anxiety I am feeling is real… I’m constantly fearful with every ache or pain. I’ve never had a loss, but after 2 years of TTC I think this baby just means so much to me that the thought of something going wrong makes me feel sick.

I’m legit sobbing watching this video.
4w6d today and all I can do is overthink and assume the worst. 😔 I can’t get an appointment until 10 weeks and I cannot stop panicking.
Thx for the great video 💙💙💙

Prayers worship and pregnancy affirmation is really relieving my anxiety, fear and concerns you can try it too❤ first thing in the morning last thing at night

Another great video by Bettina for dealing with anxiety. I’m not pregnant currently but I benefitted from her other videos when I was pregnant and experiencing a lot of anxiety. Practicing yoga, such as her yoga routines for anxiety was also very helpful. When in the middle of the anxiety it’s also great to know there are others with similar experiences and that you’re not alone

Thank you! I’m 5 weeks and one moment I’m ecstatic and the next I am very fearful something will go wrong! I have to wait 3 weeks for my first ultrasound which sucks.

I was looking for a video to give a friend for her first pregnancy struggling with Anxiety. And this is just feedback, but I don't feel like I can send her this video because of the mention of all the miscarrages. If you just started with the tips rather than mentioning that, I would have shared it. I realize those unfortunate things do happen. But that's what she's so worried about and I just want to give her something that focuses on controlling anxiety and not dwelling on negative possibilites that are beyond her control.

Im currently 5+2 weeks pregnant im having really bad anxiety 😢 the thought of a miscarriage terrifies me 😢😢😢 though ive never had one and i had a healthy baby 8 years ago

Well, I made it to 13 weeks with twins but at the end piece can they found a lot of fluid in one of the babies next. They recommended doing an amniocentesis but I opted for the nipt blood test first. That will show whether I'm at low risk or high risk for one of the or both of the babies having chromosomal abnormalities or birth defects😢 one or both could also have a higher risk with prenatal loss. So while I was happy I was out of the first trimester I was bombarded with all of this potentially bad news. This video helped me though and I realized I have to have Hope and Faith and try to stay calm. Good luck to all you ladies out there

I'm blessed I haven't suffered a pregnancy loss, but am currently 8 weeks and have been suffering horrible anxiety especially in the mornings. I don't know why and my anxiety doesn't tend to have a cause. I have a history of anxiety and depression prior to being pregnant and I know its common to then have anxiety when pregnant, but I want to know why I feel like this. Is it the changes in hormones or the constant nausea triggering my anxiety, I just want to feel normal again 😭

I’m happy that I found it this channel. Sorry for your two losses before. Question? Did you have any bleeding with those two losses?

[Sharnacooks]

4weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy, and I’m so afraid. I have no idea where this fear came from.

[amitchell]

I wonder if there any safe herbs to take. I used to take ashwaghanda before becoming pregnant now I don’t know if it’s safe or even to drink chamomile tea

[aubreylawrence]

You are a GODSEND. I have been searching EVERYWHERE for some tips/advice. I am almost 5 weeks pregnant and have really been struggling with how to handle the intense level of anxiety I have been feeling (I was not anticipating this with my first baby). I can't wait to watch more of your videos.

Thank you so much 💖😭

I'm six weeks along and honestly my husband and I agreed that we'd tell people around 12 weeks but I'm starting to rethink that because the number one thing I feel would help me with anxiety is talking with my friends, especially those who are already mamas and may relate to my feelings.

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant and experiencing anxiety 😥

[karinagonzales]

5 weeks today and my anxiety is through the roof. Im scared of whatever could happen to my baby

[justinecurtis]

These comments help me not feel alone ❤️ 5 weeks 2 days and every day is a struggle with anxiety right now. Sending everyone love❤

[MackenzieJo]

I really want to say thank you for your videos. I’m 5 weeks pregnant with my IVF rainbow baby after 5 losses and I’m so very worried but I’ve been doing SOMETHING from your channel every night and it really helps me so much
