    Eating ice cream and taking a bath has helped me so far! :) I've been really stressed as well. I live with my whole family and only my fiance knows about my pregnancy. Its tough :/

  • LC_NICOLE74LC_NICOLE74
    Lol nope :) Then to top it off I'm only 18 (almost 19) and me and my fiance both dont have jobs, licenses, or a car. I'm stressing like crazy over here :/

    Lol well I'm not pregnant enough to be over it just yet. And I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll be great on ur own tho :) and I'm 9 weeks I think and still have no doc appts. But your lucky I wish at least one of us could get a job. I'd be a little less stressed:/

    I just got a yoga for pregos video and it is is so great! It was like 10$ off Amazon. It helps a lot with stress and its going to make the birth a lot Easyer (who doesn't want that?)
    Other than that a nice long hot bath with bubbles and some Epsom salt dose wounders
    Good luck!

    Sounds like you have a lot your dealing with. That's a hard place to be. But you just have to learn to seperate yourself from your surroundings sometimes. A good book. Relaxing music. And maybe try ear plugs during the day to sleep. Be carefull with the hot baths. OK early on. But it draws the blood away from the baby warm is OK. Hot not good.. Good luck!
