- 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 ❤
Hi Stephanie. I know that feeling too well. It’s safe to lean in and feel the excitement. Stay hopeful 💜
Nearly 23 weeks and have severe anxiety and breathing issue. Have to yawn every 2 min to take a full breathe. Don’t know how I will survive for the next 4 months
The anxiety is definitely real. I’ve felt it several times through this journey. I am 16 weeks + 3 days, and though it doesn’t come as often as it did in the beginning… I still have moments of pregnancy anxiety. Pray, meditate, & breathe 🧘🏽♀️ also get outside! The outdoors always help me
Hi ladies I am here with you guys. I am 6w2d & my brain won’t allow me to relax. Any tug pull slight uncomfortableness makes me go nuts!
Update - I am now 17 weeks. Im slightly less anxious but still worry about everything. The scan and hearing the heartbeat at my most recent midwife appointment kept me going for a while, but Im now counting down to my 20 week scan on 2nd Jan 😆 I cant wait to feel the baby move more. Ive felt little swishes here and ther which might be baby or might be something else! I swear the anxiety never really goes away 🙈
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 💖😭
Same in my case... I am 5 weeks pregnant and feeling intense anxiety... Have seen not a single hope but I will definitely practice what she is instructing...😭😭😭
I could be pregnant. Will confirm within a week. I was also not feeling this anxious with my first baby.
Did you fin anything that worked for you how are you doing. ?
@@SaraSanchez-um4vz honestly, I limited the information I took in. I had ordered "what to expect...", had all the apps downloaded, and joined all the pregnancy support groups...and it turned out that what was stressing me out was the information overload. I've found through this process that the best informant...is your baby. They will tell you when something is wrong. And obsessing over what you can't control will only further harm them because stress is not good for baby.
I'm well and delivering my bun in a few short weeks. 😊🥰
@@aubreylawrence6771 Any of Bettina's videos are incredibly supportive. I've also found Bree Taylor Molyneaux's Hypnosis albums on iTunes- AMAZING.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m currently 7 weeks pregnant and experiencing anxiety 😥
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Deep breaths and stay hopeful.
Me too! It’s so bad, I keep having panic attacks 😢
I am so glad I am not the only one
I feeling the same 6 weeks pregnant
Mee to and m 8 weeks pregnant .. sometimes anxious that my BP may raise and I deal with sever anxiety and worried about baby.. I hope everything will b ok.. may Allah bless us and our children n bless all the pregnant women and their babies
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.
You definitely need to do what feels right for you.💜
Same for us. We want to wait but I have no one to talk to who’s been through it.
Just tell who u know u can count on
@@mrs.shanieekennedy2728 yeah told my two besties ^_^ As the baby just turned one last week and officially became a toddler, I fear the secret is out for everyone by now 😄
That's exactly how I feel. 😢I'm five weeks and haven't told me family. Not telling them is oro making this worse for me.
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!! ❤️🙏🏽
You’re welcome, sending you and your baby love and hope 🙏🏻💜
The pregnancies after a chemical one are said to be mainly successful
Betina!! I am so grateful to have found you!! You are incredibly wise. I really appreciate your tips! Thank you for this video!!
I’m so glad I ran across your channel. The work that you do is appreciated. Thank you. ❤️
You’re welcome. I’m glad you are here.
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
Congratulations! ✨ sending you and your baby so much love 💜
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 💙💙💙
Oh love. It’s so hard. Breathe. You’ve got this. Take one moment at a time. Remind yourself “I am healthy and strong. My baby is happy and healthy.” Distract yourself as best you can. Reading fiction worked well for me. I’ll be holding you and Bub in my thoughts. 🙏🏻💜✨
I’m 6 weeks and 4 days and I am absolutely terrified. I don’t go to the ob til the 22nd. I’m so scared it’s going to be taken from me which triggers all the mental illnesses I’ve struggled with. If I don’t feel sick I start panicking, if I have discharge I panic, if I’m not bloated I panic, I’m so scared I’m going to go in and they won’t find a heart beat. I’ve never been able to keep any happiness in my life due to losing people and battling abuse. I just hope everything will be ok
@@caitlynnash8041 Deep breaths. You've got this. Sending you love.
These comments help me not feel alone ❤️ 5 weeks 2 days and every day is a struggle with anxiety right now. Sending everyone love❤
I’m glad that you were about to find our community. Sending you and your baby love 🙏🏻💜
Sending you peace!
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.
That’s completely understandable. Be gentle with yourself. Sending love and hope 🙏🏻💜 (and congratulations!)
❤️ hope all is well
I am going through this exact situation 😞 Hoping and praying that this stage will pass soon 🙏🏼
Same here
I was an anxious person before I was pregnant. Then once I found out, I had to stop my medication. Was fine for a few days but then after have been a complete mess. I am terrified of miscarriage then become guilty because I can’t control my anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle.
I am glad I have found this!!! I’m going to try it!
I’m glad you found me too. Breathe. You are going to be okay. 💜
You are not alone 💜
I'm going exactly through the same, did the anxiety became managable?
Thanks so much for this video! I started watching your videos this May after my loss and now I in the very early stages of the next pregnancy! I did all your fertility videos while trying and now your anxiety videos are a great help. While I don't believe all the anxiety will go away, I feel much better this time around. Thank you so much for all your support, Bettina♥️
You’re so welcome! 💜🙏🏻
Thank you. My yoga teacher directed me to this channel, and I am already grateful. I had a miscarriage almost 2 years ago, am currently almost to my 2nd trimester, am age 37, and so much anxiety! I need to find a replacement for Facebook doom scrolling (which aggravates the anxiety) and think I'll try reading. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Sending you and your baby love, 💜
You’re amazing! Thank you so so much 💗💗 I’m 15 weeks pregnant and my anxiety is spiking massively. I’ve had 2 panic attacks in a week’s time and am thinking of starting antidepressants just to manage it. These tips are so so helpful, and your voice is so soothing. From a desperate mama, thank you so much 💗
You’re so welcome. I hope it has eased for you. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you Bettina- I’ve used your videos for several years now, two losses of my own three failed IVF (two with my eggs and one donor), I’m now pregnant with donor egg IVF 5 weeks! And yes all the support and help I can get to let the anxiety go is so helpful. Thank you for your work I love your channel
Congratulations Drey! I’m so so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your happy news with me. 💜
Thank you so much, I just found out today and I have so many questions and concerns, mainly being petrified of childbirth and not survive. I watched this mid anxiety attack and the breathing helped so much 🖤 the internet is full of so many horror stories and not enough comfort for expecting moms.
Congratulations Relin. Please reach out to talk to someone about your fears around birth, you don’t want to carry that into labour with you. Sending love. 🙏🏻💜
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
Thanks so much for your comment Elizabeth. Happy to hear my story has helped 🙏🏻
I feel alot better when I know they are other people suffering with anxiety and I’m not alone.
Really good techniques alot of people trying give things to do but these are great u need to take ur mind of what ur thinking bout in the first place these are great steps to check.
I’m happy that I’m not alone going thru this it gives me hope
You are definitely not alone.
Thank you sooo much! 🥰 That really will help me. I also draw and colour mandalas when I need to be back to here and now and help me to be patient and have faith... I share it hoping that can help or inspire any women☺️
That is such a great way to manage anxiety. Thanks for sharing.
thank you so much- i had a miscarriage in July and just confirmed today that i am pregnant with doctor! very exciting. I am heeding your no coffee advice and its already calming me down- but i love these tips and am grateful I found you on here. I also love to read so that will be my new coffee!
Congratulations! ✨ I’m so happy for you. 💜
Thankyou so much these are the best tips ever , I actually forgot how much i love reading a good novel and its been ages! So I’m off to get one right now ☺️
I’m so glad to hear this. Sending you love 💜
Thank you for this. I keep having that feeling of wanting to escape. I want to be happy about this pregnancy but I have had two miscarriages in the last year and a half and I’m pregnant again and I sincerely hope that doesn’t happen again but I don’t know what a successful pregnancy feels like and constantly find my self worrying if what I feel is normal or if i feel sick because of pregnancy or because of anxiety. The breathing technique is already beginning to help. Can’t thank you enough for being kind to post this.
You’re welcome! I’m so glad that it is helpful. Sending you and your baby love. 💜
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
Yes so good! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻💜
This is great thanks so much
I love this thank you first ultrasound scan today ❤
I hope your ultrasound went well 🙏🏻💜
This video is wonderful. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this video. I just found out I’m around 8 weeks pregnant and I have my first scan on Tuesday and my anxiety has been through the rough 😢. I just want my baby to have a heart beat and be ok
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Sending you love and hope for a positive scan. 🙏🏻💜
so helpful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I just found out I’m pregnant at 3 weeks with my first pregnancy, and I’ve started to get anxiety about making it through the first trimester. Thank you for the tips in going to try them and hope they work
Congratulations Hannah!
Same here. I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and I barely found out. I started feeling anxious about the same thing… 😔
I am on my 3rd at the age 41 n being 3 yrs ago had a miscarriage I feel like I have PTSD from it n didn't really know how bad until now so as soon as I see any type of spotting or anything like that my anxiety goes thru the roof. Thank u so much for posting this n I feel like God led me to ur channel so I subbed n will continue to try the yoga. Tmrw I have my 1st appt n I'm excited n can't wait to feel even better once they do the ultrasound
I’m so glad you’re here 🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much for your tips ❤️ I’m 4 weeks pregnant with our second baby and struggling with anxiety again because my pregnancy symptoms are so different to our previous pregnancy. Will try and have some tech free time and not Google!
Sending you and Bub so much love.I hope the anxiety eases for you soon. 🙏🏻💜
Finally something that actually helps❤️
Wonderful to hear. 🙏🏻💜😊
I have severe anxiety on a day to day basis. I'm now pregnant after a 25 week loss, the hormones are absolutely insane. I'm trying everything to stop these panic attacks. Thanks for this!!
You’re welcome. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope the anxiety calms for you and you can enjoy your pregnancy.
How is your baby now?
5 weeks today and my anxiety is through the roof. Im scared of whatever could happen to my baby
I feel you, I'm just 1 week further along and keep going in circles of anxiety... Hope all goes well for you!
Sending you both love and hope. Keep trusting.
I feel you...May God you through
I started doing jigsaw puzzles. A friend of mine recommended it 💪
Such a great idea!
You are very wise
Thank you! Getting into novels in a great idea and something I knowingly avoid - I always favour videos or games over books despite how much I love reading.
I just found out that I’m pregnant and I lost my last pregnancy at 12 weeks a few months ago. Even in these very very early stages things seem different so I’m remaining hopeful. But ever since the loss I find it so hard to be patient. Time has stood still and now I’m impatient to get my bloods done, have my first scan etc. I’m impatient to know if everything is okay. It’s so tough
Sending you and your baby love. I’ll be holding you in my thoughts 🙏🏻💜
After trying to conceive for 3 years, suffering one miscarriage a year ago, I'm pregnant again and terrified. We found out 3 days ago; I'm halfway week 4 now. Still temping and taking pregnancy tests to check in on my status, so I NEED these tips from you! Thanks so much!
Congratulations! What wonderful news! Deep breath. You’re going to be okay. 💜🙏🏻
@@BettinaRae hi, just wanted to let you know. A week after this, it stopped growing. We found out during the ultrasound yesterday... I'm waiting for the miscarriage to start up. Do you have any yoga classes you could recommend for me?
@@korsetmaken I am so so sorry to hear this news. I have some classes on my channel for miscarriage. sending you love. x
Thanks I'm Def finding out stressful because my husband isn't allowed in for and hospital apt because of covid so I've no support during them even though he's only outside the hospital, I still feel alone. Will give these a try
Oh that is extra tough. I’m sorry you are on your own for appointments. Sending you love and strength 🙏🏻💜
Oh gosh, thank you so much. Im almost 9 weeks. I saw a heart beat and she said everything is ok, but i have low symptoms so i keep worrying about it. I only get sick once or twice a week and have sore breasts. Sometimes they arent even sore so i freak out a bit. Everyone says to just calm down... but they just dont know how it feels 🥺
Your video is the first that helpped out a lot.
I think my pregnancy doest feel real just yet for me cuz im not so sick.
Again thank you for the video it was great ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Katra. I’m so excited for you. 💜
@@BettinaRae thank you so much ❤️
This is exactly how I'm feeling! I'm 5w4d and not many symptoms so the thoughts run rampant! So comforting knowing other women go through the same feelings. Thanks Bettina for this video xx
@@ajandmitchgallop do your breast hurt? As long as you arent bleeding you are ok. Trust me everything will be fine. Take your vitamins daily so your baby will be happy.
But even if your baby doesnt make it, know this. Only babys that were very sick dont make it. Like downs or something so please dont blame yourself.
Symptoms come and go. At around 16 weeks you will get those kicks you will love so much and it makes life better knowing the baby is ok.
Mine came in this world healthy and strong even tho i didnt have symptoms. So it doesnt mean baby isnt ok. Just that you got lucky.
Good lucky mama ❤️
I am 5 weeks 3 days, I never had a loss and this is my first at 24 years old, it just feels like something will be taken away. I appreciate your video so much because I keep crying and have so much anxiety for my little one.
Take a deep breath. You’re going to be okay. With great love comes great fear. 💜 You’ve got this.
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.
Congratulations! ✨ it’s normal to feel both emotions all at once. Look after yourself as well as you can the next few weeks. Sending you and your baby love. 💜🙏🏻
Thank you🤍
You’re welcome 🙏🏻💜
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?
All three of mine have been misses miscarriages and we found out at ultrasound. With my third loss though I had bleeding from 6 weeks on and off. Though I’d had a ultrasound at 6 weeks and there was a heartbeat.
Thank you for your advice I’m almost 7 weeks and I literally had to delete TikTok because people were putting their experiences and fears of pregnancy and about their pregnancy on others . I would look up how my baby looks now in the few weeks and go in the comments and it would be other women saying “I lost mine at __ weeks” or anything in that nature and it scared me shitless . Like can you not do that especially under post like that. I’m already anxious because I haven’t seen my baby yet and probably won’t be able to till about 10 weeks and I’m trying to keep it calm . I pray over my baby everyday and give affirmations to myself to stay calm
You are strong. Your baby is healthy. Keep repeating. Deep breaths. You’ve got this. 🙏🏻💜
i will try to read a book to see how it goes. My anxiety is off the top. Especially the appointments. It makes me anxious.
That’s understandable. Do what you can to reassure yourself you are safe. 🙏🏻💜
Thank you 😊 I feel anxious at 18 weeks and gender sonogram tomorrow and a mom to a ten year old.
Feeling like I’m not a good mom. Lazy and financially stressed
Not knowing what my future holds
How did your ultrasound go? Hoping you are feeling better. 💜
The scans are terrifying but you also cling to them as milestone because you know they provide so many answers to what is going on in there.
Alhamdulillah ❤thankyou
You’re welcome 🙏🏻💜
After 6 miscarriages and the last one being an ectopic pregnancy, I had 9 years of pause without trying. Now, 1 years after trying again I am pregnant and the anxiety is killing me 😢 I hope everything goes well this time around!
What a journey you’ve had! Congratulations. Sending you and baby love and hope 🙏🏻💜
Updates pls!
I am 11 weeks pregnant, and always feeling anxiety about the baby. I believe every mom wants their child to be perfect, and always do their best to keep their child in the womb grows perfectly. But i really stressed out when there're too many information from close friends or even family about do and don'ts and all the overwhelming pregnancy rules. And sometimes they even told me about the effect for the baby when i break the rules. Every mom has different experience during pregnancy and it can't be generalized. But i hate when they trying to make me believe on them. I try my best to keep my baby safe but again, there're always be someone comments me negatively if i did what they think is wrong. I always talk to my obgyn about every activity i want to do during the pregnancy. My obgyn said that i am strong enough to do whatever activity i want as long as i become happier and just be careful in doing that. But my friend didn't believe about what my obgyn said. She keeps telling me that i shouldn't do that because based on her experience it's not good for the baby. 😢 i hope you understand what i'm going through.
Give yourself some space from those people who are stressing you out. Now is the time to practise the boundaries you’ll need once your baby is here. Sending you love and strength 🙏🏻💜
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 so sorry to hear you’re going through this. It’s so scary being in this place of waiting for news so big. Sending you love and hope. I’ll be thinking of you and your twins 🙏🏻💜

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 😭
There could be a number of reasons. Don’t waste your energy trying to fight it. Notice what makes it worse and do your best to look after yourself to relieve it. Good food, sleep and movement should be the foundation and then do your best to find things that help. Meditating, yoga, reading, gardening, music, cuddles, good conversation, lots of things can help. Sending you and your bub love, 💜
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.
Thanks for your feedback. It just means my video, my experience is not for her. And thats okay. You’re a good friend for looking for something to support her. 💜
@@BettinaRae You're welcome and thanks for not taking the feedback personal. Everything else you said was just what I was looking for. She is so freaked out so bad today it scared me and I'm just trying to support her. She is so afraid she might loose her first baby she is going to worry herself sick or worse if she can't find a way to stop stressing herself out.
This one is my 3rd and I'm so scared and have a lot of anxiety. I'm excited but at the same time this little one is an oops and my house really isn't ready for another baby.. I live in a 3 bedroom house and my daughters room isn't done yet..couldnt afford a really nice house so I have a fixer upper that I'm having trouble fixing.. Both my first two babies were difficult pregnancys. My son is 9 and my daughter will be 3. I also have some health problems I found out with a ct scan recently.. I don't know I'm just having a lot of problems and I'm scared. Please pray for me to get over this hump in the road I'm facing and a safe happy healthy baby.. To all the mamas out there struggling I'm praying for you..
Admitting you are struggling is the first step. Reach out for support to those around you. You are stronger than you even know. Sending you love 🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much! With my first trimester i went to the hospital for horrible stomach pain that was just getting worse. I had a ct scan that showed i had gallstones, policystic kidney disease and prego all at the same time I had the biggest anxiety attack finding that out..and I couldn't eat anything with fat in it, I would go to the grocery store and cry BC I couldnt find any food. I was having so meany gallbladder attacks I thought I would lose the baby not being able to eat.. I got my gallbladder surgery about a week ago I'm 15 weeks along now.. Im happy to be blessed with another one I love you kids to death. They are what keeps me going. I'm just upset BC all of the stuff going on and I don't have there room ready. You see every one having a baby nursery and I hate that I don't have mine ready and set up for them. Thank you for your kind words you don't know how much that means to me..
I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. This was completely unexpected!
It i was to put it as simply as i possibly can... It makes me sad to know im letting them go and happy to know im keeping them ❤
My mom didnt have me until she was 34 and i know she'll have alot to say.
Idk why im so worried what my mum will think 😂
Congratulations. Deep breath 💜
I like going for walk and listening to music to switch my brain off
So good!
I just found out today and having major anxiety
I’m sorry you are feeling anxious 💜
I was not as anxious, but because researching about the topic I end up in the dark side of CZcams with lots of doctors talk about how everything can turn bad specially if you’re an specific age.
Time to get off CZcams then? Breathe. Get out in nature. Trust. 🙏🏻💜
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
Congratulations! I’m so sorry to hear you are feeling super anxious. Deep breaths. You’ve got this. Reach out if you need.
I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and I’m experiencing some anxiety, I have chronic high blood pressure since the beginning of this year and on medication and had miscarriages before, I have not had my OB appt as of yet still a month away my mind is always thinking of something is gonna go wrong googling everything does. It help me 😢
Hi Lorena. I’m glad this helped you. Deep breaths. You’ve got this. 💜
I didn't test yet but feeling a lot of anxiety today is my 9dpo didn't test but feeling that i could be i have frequent urination and tiredness early morning sickness ang craving food. I am trying to stay calm but I can't thank you engh for yhe video hoping for baby dust
Sending you love and hope 🙏🏻💜
@@BettinaRae thank you so much. Claiming it🙏
Two days away from the first scan and I just need everything to be okay. It would absolutely kill me if something was wrong.
Sending you love. I hope it went well. Please let me know.
@@BettinaRae all went well thank you 😊 I will be watching your video again before the next scan, it really helps thanks 😄
@@LHMLHW I'm so happy to hear this.
Im currently 5 weeks pregnant. I been scared that I might miscarry because my first born was born a premature baby & I have a cyst on my ovary . Just don’t want anything bad to happen with this baby .
Congratulations!!! ✨ Breathe. You’ve got this. Sending you love 💜
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
I don't have the knowledge on this. I'd recommend talking to your doctor or naturopath.
Chamomile isn't considered safe
@@lenkasp since when O.O
Did yo u find out anything?
From what I know peppermint is OK and I sometimes will have a cup of neuner's organic herbal pregnancy tea.
It has camomile, lemon balm, peppermint, raspberry leaf, ribwort, lavender, ginger
@@monikag6108 I've read that raspberry leave is not safe in early pregnancy! Some use it to induce labour end of pregnancy because it can cause mild contractions. I wouldn't take the risk. Also anisseed and fennel are advised against. Cinnamon in modaration. Verbena, mint and ginger are OK.
Has anyone had severe anxiety in the beginning of their pregnancy and had to get on medication my anxiety is so bad I can’t sleep or eat. I’m currently five weeks pregnant. I want to know if this is just a pregnancy thing and it’ll go away when I give birth.? or is this just a first trimester thing?
Please go and see your doctor or psychologist for support. You don’t need to battle this alone. Sending love 🙏🏻💜
I dont know how can i survive ds pregnancy my baby has hb already ds will be my rainbow baby im having attacks and some spotting good thing my ob prescribed me progesterone baby still holding up im on bed rest my attacks gets worst
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Sending you love and hope 🙏🏻💜
I am in my 8th week and I started feeling anxiety because I was keeping track of my symptoms and I had and sometimes still have the feeling, that maybe something is wrong, God forbid. The doctors don't take me seriously and keep pushing off my first appointment😢 the anxiety is choking me really
It can be so hard to deal with the anxiety Rachel. If you don’t feel like your doctor takes you seriously (or even helps to ease your fears) maybe it’s time for a new dr? Sending you and your baby love 🙏🏻💜
@@BettinaRae Thank you so much for your support. I moved to a new country recently and am still finding my ways😊 but yes, so far I have not been satisfied with the medical services here.
I am just approaching 5 weeks. I have two children but I've had one miscarriage before but this baby has taken 2.5 years to conceive. I am desperate to get to 12 weeks. I am so worried about miscarriage. I want this baby more than anything
I know that feeling well. Take a deep breath. You’ve got this. 🙏🏻💜
I just found out that I am pregnant 2 days ago. I am a day late on my period so I took my test early. I took four to be exact all clear positives. I went to the doctors and they told me it was too early for them to tell. So there test was negative. So I have to wait a couple weeks. It’s making me so anxious 😥 I’ve never been pregnant. This would be my first baby. Any tips out there from any mothers?
Congratulations!!! It’s too early for your Dr to see baby on a scan but they can do a blood test. Four positives on home tests is very positive though! 💜
Im 12 weeks pregnant my anxiety feels me im sick
I'm sorry you are experiencing this.
4weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy, and I’m so afraid. I have no idea where this fear came from.
Fear often comes from love. Deep breaths Mama. Remind yourself that you are strong, your baby is healthy. 🙏🏻💜
I am having severe anxiety an crying spells because I am 6 weeks pregnant now after doing ovulation induction , and I had previous 2 miscarriages. Currently i have no much early pregnancy symptoms as well . And I have scan after 2 days and I feel worried as hell . I really want this pregnancy to be okay . 😢
Take a breath. You’re going to be okay. 🙏🏻💜✨
@@BettinaRae Thanks a lot 😊😊
@@BettinaRae I am miscarrying yet again .. ☹️

I am busy loosing my mind, I don't know how to calm my speeding brain. I'm scared everything I'm doing is gonna harm my baby, 6 weeks pregnant and currently anxious and stressed
Take a big deep breath Jodene. Tell yourself “ my body is strong and healthy. My baby is happy and healthy”. Look after yourself as best you can. Repeat whenever those feelings overwhelm you 🙏🏻💜
@@BettinaRae thank you for the advise will be my daily mantra 🙌 🤗
Im 6weeks today..just one question..can something happen to baby im anxious everytime? im so much worried abt it😭
There is not a lot of research on this topic to be honest. I would say, focus on reducing stress so that YOU can feel well. So YOU can enjoy this pregnancy, and baby will benefit too. You can’t reduce anxiety while you are focused on fear. Sending you and your baby love.
@@BettinaRae thankyou so much♥️♥️
I just found out I’m pregnant and I’m happy but I’m more scared even tho is my second pregnancy I’m scared because I have anxiety and I want to do it naturally without taking medication

@@BettinaRae thank you..lil support helps ❤️
Anxiety about birthing since women my colour don't get the attention we need.
I’m so sorry that this is still a thing. Is there someone working in this space that you can reach out to for advice?
Do you know what to do when your husband tells you to get a therapist, but you can't cause you can't get health insurance? And you also have anxiety and ocd, you're working, trying to get your license, study fpr school and college, work cause he can't, cause hes job to job, get a place for eachother, provide rides and money cause he doesnt have a car or money right now, hes living with his parents, he already has a kid with someone, and you're not allowed to see that kid cause the mom doesn't want anyone else to take care of that kid, even after you've shown that you care for the kid and that kid loves being arond you, and your husband himself is trying to allow you to be around his kid, but if you or him do one wrong thing his kids mom will try to take the kid away completely and get full custody and makes the kid hate you and his dad and brainwashes the kid? and lastly you always make sure everyone is happy, but barely yourself cause youre dealing with so much? Cause I'm also not allowed at my husband's parents house cause they don't allow people at their house and he can't even tell them I'm pregnant right now? I'm just extremely stressed, sick, depressed, emotional and feel so alone in all of this and wish I could tell him more about what it's like for me and what I'm dealing with but when I do he gets abusive towards me and thinks I'm overreacting and should just deal what I'm going through or abort the baby? I just wish I knew what to do and had someone to help and maybe be able to get a therapist, but I haven't been able to have that
Lilly I’m so sorry to hear you are going through all this. What country are you in? Here you can go to your GP (general dr) and ask for access to some free mental health support. Perhaps you are able to see a therapist that way?
I am 5 weeks pregnant and only get anxious when I go to bed and cant sleep until 4. Is there anything I can take at night to help?
I would talk to your Dr or naturopath about this. A yoga Nidra meditation can help you fall asleep at night. I would try the one on my channel for pregnancy. 💜
My is crying
Sending you love and hope 🙏🏻💜
I just found out today I am pregnant and I’m so scared 🥹 I’m 31 but this was unexpected
Hi Briana. It’s absolutely okay to feel this way. Take a breath and let yourself sit with this news for a little bit. You’re going to be okay, 💜
