Set realistic expectations: Don't feel pressured to do everything for the baby. Allow your partner family and friends to support you. Ask for help when you need it.
Take some alone time: If you begin to feel overwhelmed, let someone know, take some time for yourself, leave the house, visit a friend or run an errand. Or schedule some time alone with your partner.
Respond positively: When negative feeling, thoughts come to your mind, focus on keeping your thoughts positive. Even if an unwanted situation doesn't change, you can attempt to change the way you think and behave.
Avoid being alone: Talk with your partner, family and friends for consistent communication on how your feeling is important. Ask your doctor about supports groups being or talking with other women will help you realize you’re not alone.
