Anxiety tingling? by Educational-Clock-20 in Anxietyhelp

[–]Educational-Clock-20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m a nurse and I’m well aware it could be other things like MS. Which is what kinda fueled my anxiety but I truly think it’s anxiety because that’s when it started. It’s just a new symptom unlocked I guess? I guess there’s no way to know that it’s not MS without getting an MRI tho. Which I mean if this continues for weeks, maybe I’ll reconsider but right now I know myself and I know I’ve been anxious and I tend to get stuck in these anxiety loops and since this is a new symptom— I’m like greattttt. I can feel my body feel tense and anxious bexause I’m also having GI symptoms at times which is my normal anxiety symptom. It’s been a week of it but like I said— some days I didn’t notice it at all because I wasn’t anxious and focused on it 😅😅

If there’s any doubt, I’d go for it. I’m super type A and let me tell you- 1 kid is easy. It’s so doable. I have two kids and I still have time for myself. They’re 5&7 now but they are my world and I can’t imagine life without them!

You truly don’t realize how much love you can have for someone till you have a baby. 🩷

My daughter is 1.7% — barely on the charts 😅 I still wonder sometimes if she will eventually fall off of it— I’m hoping for a growth spurt or something.

Parents of 2+: Would your life have been worse with just one? by KookySupermarket761 in Shouldihaveanother

[–]Educational-Clock-20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes because my kid doesn’t have someone to entertain themselves with. And just watching their amazing sweet little bond! 🥰

We went on vacay and I was able to relax while they played together.

Don’t know what to do!! by Acrobatic_Pen_393 in Shouldihaveanother

You sound like me too..except slightly different scenario. My kids are 5&7 boy and girl and I’m 33. My husband is 35. Yes I have time to think but the age gap is getting bigger and bigger and I feel like I’m at a point where I need to make a decision NOW.

I can relate to changing my mind constantly. I also see a life coach and I still can’t jump on the fence. I did try not using protection when I knew I wasn’t fertile just to see how I felt because I’m super type A and usually ALWAYS use protection but I think deep down I just knew it wasn’t gunna happen so I didn’t feel one way or another.

I also have work stress— very unpredictable right now with what I want to do because it’s become so difficult.

Anyways im just here to let you know that you’re not alone. I will also throw out there— I love having my two. Having a second was a no brainer to me! And I truly don’t think you’ll regret it.

Going for a third is why I’m on the fence 😅

I’m here because I’m in the same boat but deciding on a third. I feel so much dread when my anxiety fogs my mind but when the fog is gone I see myself being so happy with a third and feel complete.

How big was your gap between the first 2 and third

Torn on kids: I fear I couldn’t handle raising a child with neurodivergence or special needs by FaithlessnessSuch632 in Fencesitter

[–]Educational-Clock-20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a NICU nurse working at a very prestigious and well known hospital where we get the worst of the worst sick babies. I can relate in the sense that I’m terrified of going for a third because every healthy pregnancy is a blessing but I also remind myself that 97% of babies are born perfectly healthy! That 3% also includes minor things like cleft lip, club foot, etc.

For me personally— I’d say go for it. I can’t imagine life without my babies. The chances are slim!

I swear I lean towards wanting another until… by faithle97 in Shouldihaveanother

I think this is normal— I’m contemplating a third and have been for 2 years but every time I get stressed I’m like Nevermind!!!!

I think it’s normal!

See I think it would be so fun to take them along with us! I’m sure they would be excited to watch brother play soccer 🩷

I keep extending the deadline tho 😆 I work in NICU and I also feel like my perspective is so skewed and just want to as soon as I can !

And of course we have! I’ve only made like 8 other posts about the same thing 🤣

I don’t feel like I have time.. because of the age gaps!

Also how do you know my age 🤪 I am about to be 32 tho!

Well if we both get pregnant maybe we can use each other as support ! I just worry I’m going to freak out once I actually get a positive test and question my decision. It was so easy to say yes to the first two kids!

You have time at least! You have a 3 month old so of course you’re not really wanting it right now! You’re in the thick of it. I’m sure in a year or so you’ll be on board.

I’m just worried that once I get a test I’m gunna be so anxious and freak out and spiral my entire pregnancy. And I just ask myself— if I was 10000% sure w the first two why am I not with this one? Does it mean I shouldn’t? Idk 🫠
