Is it just me, or does every pregnant worry abount things they have no control over. I have really happy days when nothing bothers me, then days like today when all I wanna do is cry cos we wont be able to cope with everything!!! It's now starting to get me down big time. Is it just me?

Its not just you.I reckon all mums to be have bad days when all your worrys seem to swamp you.

I guess you just need to ride off those days when your stronger and remember how you can cope.

I also reckon that these huge lows are only part of the ride, cause there definately are some massive highs in this having babys melarky.So keep that in mind ,some days I look at my kids and think this is mental they bring happiness like nothing else in life can.

I think Im in the same situation. We are having our first baby, and we've lost two. The reality of our desires are coming to a head. It's not just about us anymore. I used to be a stripper and I sang on the side as a life dream. My man is a music producer(very-talented)and he also raps, but the money hasn't been the same without my income. I'm starting to get fat now so theres no turning back so to speak. Personally welfare is not for me, but fortunately I have a small support system in mom and grandma. I am in school now so I focuss on that, and I look forward to the day I can put my child in a private school or send him off to Paris for his graduation due to my hard work and sacrifice. So thats my advice to you, focuss on yourself and remember that you are raising the one who will take care of you one day. Our hormones are wild right now so just kick back and look at your feet, one day when the babys here you'll look at your feet again and laugh at yourself for being so silly as to think that this is a problem and not just anouther of the many obsticals you will face in life.

Its not just you we all worry about money we try not to but its always there. I was made redundant only 3 months into my pregnancy i left on the 19th of Sept yes i got money from the company but only three months wages, I am so worried as my partner has three jobs on the go he is working part time in Asda , goes to college to train to be a counsellor and he is also a trainned plastererhe is working all the hours he can to compensate for my wage. This worries me a great deal.

I feel like this gets me down more than anything , I think about it more now i am at home all day i cant get another job till after the baby is born next year as i am now on the sick with my blood pressure which i have been told to relax .

I am so sorry to have gone on but its nice to know i am not the only one that worries about money

Take Care and good luck x

Actually I'm starting to believe that pregnancy brings extra brain work. I'm in my 5th month, and i've had a different obsession every 3 weeks. By now I'm learning to relax, try to take it easy when you think of possible problems coming. And as my auntie always said: "so much you have, so much you spend", (not meaning you spend everything you have, but knowing how far you can go).
Take care.
