I'm at around 24 weeks pregnant now. My worries come from the first trimester. After only 3 weeks of being pregnant, I went abroad with my boyfriend for around 2 months to work. I must say, it was a hell for me over there.
We are both young, just 20 years old and we were both extremly stressed because we hardly had money for living and we fought a lot with each other for anything. But really bad fights and mean words.
It was also difficult to adapt to a new life and culture. I cried everyday and I was super moody even when he didn't do anything wrong. I had a lot of food cravings as well that I couldn't always satisfy and I had my co-workers also be mean with me.
As if it's not enough, I didn't get proper sleep since we had to prepare at 2-3am for work.
I'm just worried that my baby's health and his behaviour as he grows up will be influenced by all of those things that I had to go through.
The good news is that after the first trimester and when I came back to my country, I started to feel calmer, with less food cravings and not moody anymore. All I'm doing since then is waiting for my baby to be born, but I always think he is affected somehow by that time.
I'd be very happy to know your opinion on this! Maybe,there are no reasons to worry but I'm someone who overthinks a lot. And I feel this also affects my baby as stress and worrying is not allowed in pregnancy..
Thank you!
