The thing that I hear most often-other than varying and vaguely prying questions about my weight- from my DH, my friends and my family, is that I need to relax, and stress out less. They aren't telling me to drop all the pressures of daily life, or to let others do all the work, no. They just encourage me to find ways to cope with stress that doesn't compromise my health, or that of my baby.
This is the advice I am having the most trouble following, which made me think that other women might be having trouble as well. All the reading I've done says that you should 'take time for yourself', 'try meditation or a relaxing prenatal massage', and 'pamper yourself with a day out with girl friends'.
My question is what to do if your life doesn't allow that level of relaxation? How do you cope with the pressure? I am running out of patience, and something has to give.
