Pregnancy Week 3: Emotional Changes

It is around this time that most women start guessing that they could be pregnant. This might leave you feeling excited, anxious, overwhelmed and exhausted – maybe even all at once! Even if you’re delighted about being pregnant, a new baby can add stress to your life.

It’s completely natural to worry about your baby’s health, you and your partner’s adjustment to parenthood and the financial demands of raising a child. If you’re working and plan on continuing your job, you might worry about how to balance your career and family life. You may experience mood swings.

Just understand that what you’re feeling is normal. Take a deep breath, look after yourself and reach out to loved ones for support.
