You are a pregnant model. And HOW ARE YOU ALMOST 30 WEEKS OMG. <br /><br />I have about 1000 mantras I can recommend for dealing with the anxiety. Talk to your therapist about cognitive behavioral therapy. Basically you rationalize your way through all your anxieties (i.e. argue with yourself about how you really have no basis for them). I spent my 1st tri worrying nonstop and now have been much more relaxed because the way I see it worrying doesn't change anything. I was on Zoloft for the first tri (it really isn't the end of the world if you decide to take it) but I went off. Worrying is a waste of time and energy. And when everything works out, you'll be bummed you wasted so much time worrying for nothing. I know these things are easier said than done. Try to enjoy everything you have going for you--never again will you be pregnant with your first baby. It's an amazing time. You have a LOT to be thankful for, and no reason to believe that will change. -Becky19 Okay, you look amazing. You are a pregnant model. And HOW ARE YOU ALMOST 30 WEEKS OMG.

There is no point in stressing yourself with things that are out of your control.

I will pray God will wash over you with a loving peace. That he will ease all your fears and concerns for a happy heathy baby boy!

Hugs your way!

It has saved me time and time again. And it totally doesn't hurt. There are some places that don't feel good, but nothing hurts. For stress releif I swear by acupuncture.
