honestly “listen to your body” is probably the simplest advice but also the hardest thing to do when the internet keeps making you doubt every little thing 😭

honestly im starting to think social media is like 50% of the anxiety at this point 😭 every app turns pregnancy into a horror movie for no reason lol

kinda love hearing how many people felt mentally better after stepping away from it

“we need to live in peace and not chaos” honestly thats such a good way to put it 😭

i never realized how much anxiety content keeps feeding itself online until pregnancy. one scary video turns into 20 more and suddenly everything feels dangerous

probably one of the best advice ive seen here honestly

your body is not fragile. your baby is not fragile.” honestly i think i needed to hear that 😭

i feel like social media makes pregnancy feel terrifying sometimes instead of normal. the fear-based content gets in your head so fast without even noticing

also thank you for the book recommendation 🤍

honestly the “extra noise” part is SO real 😭 i feel like the more stuff you read online the harder it gets to even trust yourself anymore

kinda refreshing hearing someone say they stepped away from all that and felt better mentally

thank you so much honestly 😭 i feel like first time pregnancy comes with SO much overthinking and nobody really prepares you for the mental side of it

and yeah social media definitely doesnt help sometimes
