When you're trying to get pregnant, there is just so much waiting involved.
It's just room for your thoughts.
And there's so much of that when you're trying to conceive, right?
There's waiting for the day that you're ovulating.
There's waiting for your period.
There's waiting just that few minutes for that pregnancy test.
All of that anticipation can really understandably be inherently anxiety-inducing, nerve-wracking.
For some people, They're feeling this anxiety even before they're trying to have a baby.
It's people who are seeing people around them struggling and they hear people struggling.
So they're not even on the train yet, but they think it's going to be them.
I call that borrowing trouble from the future.
Yeah.
Someone told me once that worrying is like a rocking chair.
It's something to do, but it's not going to get you anywhere.
Yeah.
Now I'm trying to picture somebody trying to actually get somewhere in a rocking chair.
Rocking their way down the street, inch by inch.
