Vices
so, I've gotta ask: is anyone else having trouble dealing with stress since finding out about their little one?
I'll be the first to admit, I've been a pretty moderate drinker for a few years now. nothing crazy, but like a glass of wine a night kinda girl, or a few beers when I'm out with the guys, that kinda thing. I'm also a mild social (weed) smoker, and the majority of my friends are the same. but it's like with the flip of a switch, I'm now the uptight one where there's nothing enjoyable for me to take the edge off anymore.
I'm currently 7w4d, I've known since 3w5d and the stress is building up because of work and my husband and I are also in the process of buying a house. I can't drink, smoke, go to any concerts, can't eat too much of things I normally love thanks to morning sickness, can't lift weights cause of how physical my job already is, can't do any of my usual rough-and-tumble activities because it'll stress out my body and risk baby too much. it just feels like there's no way to release all this pent up stress and energy I have! please tell me I'm not the only one struggling with this cause I feel at such a loss and for the life of me I can't think of anything truly healthy to replace my- albeit somewhat damaging- tendencies.
