Pregnant and Stressed
« on: February 23, 2017, 12:21:39 pm »
Hey everyone,

I haven't been very active lately, but I have been needing a little support. I recently found out I'm pregnant with our second child, my daughter is three. I should be grateful, as I love being a mom, but I'm feeling really down. I'm finishing my last year of college next semester and was planning to apply to grad schools this year. My boyfriend has a pretty good job right now, but money is still an issue always.

I know everything is not going to be perfect, but I still want everything to be settled. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was so stressed that I had a lot of complications because of it. So it's important that I relax and try to enjoy my pregnancy.

Also, I haven't been feeling well which is adding to my depression. I'm also kind of lonely in this. I don't want to tell my family because my sister is about 9 months pregnant and I don't want to take the attention away from her right now.

Anyways, I'm asking for some prayers positive vibes our way, hopefully I can start relaxing and have a healthy pregnancy. I need some strength to balance all of this.

Congratulations and good luck!

Along with the positive energy, I'd like to share a recipe for something that might help with soothing your stress.

Cinna-mint Tea

Brew your favorite iced tea up, and add in a stick of cinnamon as well as a goodly amount of spearmint or peppermint leaves,, maybe both if you like, while the tea is steeping. Add your sweetener, I use non-GMO unprocessed sugar or coconut sugar, but whatever works for you. Enjoy over ice.

Not only will the mint help with the stress but the Cinnamon is also great for blood sugar control.
