I remember the first week after I found out that I was pregnant, I couldn't sleep at all. I was constantly stressing about what I'm putting in my mouth, what I'm doing with my body etc. The way I stressed that there wouldn't be a heartbeat at our first scan was insane. Then came the second scan & you fear other baby & birth defects. It never stops, she explained.

Greteli said it took a lot for her to stop googling every symptom, It was hard to stop googling stuff. But I knew for every 1 thing I google, I stress about 7 other things. It was an unhealthy circle that had no positive outcome And after all- stress is the worst thing you can give to your baby .
