I'm trying to go to sleep, but I can't. I just can't rid myself of these worries and thoughts that run through my head. I keep thinking about finances. I worry so much about the future. I worry about the cost of everything I'll need for the new baby. Am I just worrying too much or is worrying too much a part of pregnancy. I wish I could just go to sleep now.

You do not need to worry. If you are too anxious, and too much thinking, will affect your pregnancy. Financial problems are definitely there, but keep trying, and enthusiastic, you will get what you need for your baby later. I also was in a state of confused, because I also have to provide more money, because soon, I'll take care of my sister's baby. There are many concerns, I am afraid not able to afford. But I will not give up so easily. Good intentions, would be given a path by God.

thanks for the concern... you're right -- financial problems ARE ALWAYS there and never really go away, it's basically EVERYONE's problem. and worrying about it won't change a thing. I guess instead of worrying i'll just have to think of ways to improve the situation and pray more. I guess I'm just being "crazy" last night. . .

First of all! Congratulation! You just got yourself a new angel! ; Stop worrying too much, you must not stress out yourself! You need to take a rest amd make a peaceful mind. For you to stop worrying a lot, try focusing yourself unto your baby! In that way you'll be totally happy with your current situation :D

hello kquiming. Some pregnant woman really worries a lot especially if it is their first pregnancy. Just try to relax,take deep breath in-hale and ex-hale it will help you a lot. Take a bath or shower and drink milk a glass of lukewarm milk before going to sleep. It's not good for pregnant women to think and worries too much. have a great weekend ahead

thank you for the advice...it's easier to relax when I feel that there are people out there telling me to relax. I've almost forgotten about the inhale exhale method. after reading all your responses here last night, i didnt reply to a single post. i just went straight to bed. cried a little, then fell asleep. i just had to cry really!

If you are already pregnant, then I would definitely attribute this to the pregnancy. I think most women get too emotional when they're on the family way. And they become some sort of a worry wort. I think you're just experiencing this. I'm sure that you'll feel a little better after some time.

yep, i'm on my 7th month... this pregnancy will be over soon. whenever the craziness hits me, it could be so real and so hard to control. and then coming back to my senses, i'd realize later on how irrational Ive been.
