Not looking for sympathy, just venting to hopefully ease my anxiety, I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and know I have plenty of time to get things ready for my daughter however I'm scared I won't have the supplies I need on time, I feel like I need everything now even when that's not the case it's very stressful and it makes me feel inadequate as her mother. All I want is to be the best I can for this baby.

Anxiety (Including GAD)
Chronic Restlessness and Agitation

that's normal and understandable! don't forget also that your anxiety is probably being exacerbated by your pregnancy. when you start feeling super anxious, take some deep breaths and remind yourself that this is just the baby talking, everything is okay, you have plenty of support if you need it. try to separate your feelings from the actual facts of reality and process them separately. maybe try rubbing your belly and telling your daughter everything is okay, all she has to do to grow big and strong and healthy, she doesn't need to worry about anything else. maybe it'll soothe her and ease your anxiety a little

@wise I appreciate this thank you
I can understand that. It's very stressful to think of being responsible for anothers every need. However you will do great! Take it one day at a time. It helps me to make a list. Then i can put it away and say to myself i have time, I'm organized, i have a plan, it will be okay.
@Kayla_K1989 Thank you I just want the absolute best for her
