I’m Pregnant and Overwhelmed, Are These Feelings Temporary?

Pregnancy often comes with a wide range of responsibilities, from financial concerns to healthcare needs. Keeping up with bills and attending numerous prenatal appointments can quickly become overwhelming, especially if you're facing these challenges on your own. It's okay to feel like the weight of it all is too much to bear.

Beyond the practical aspects, pregnancy can also stir up a whirlwind of emotions. Whether you're uncertain about becoming a parent or feeling conflicted about your current situation, it's important to acknowledge these feelings and decide if they’re temporary.
