The holidays in Montrose often bring snowy views, hot chocolate, and time spent with loved ones. But if you recently learned you might be pregnant, the excitement of the season may suddenly feel overshadowed by worry.
It’s challenging to navigate emotions while juggling holiday plans, but we have tips to help you.
Life Choices Family Resource Center offers support through no-cost services and confidential appointments. If you need someone to talk to or want to confirm your pregnancy, connect with us here.
Get All the Details First
Holiday stress can feel worse when you’re unsure of what is really happening.
A missed period, fatigue, or nausea could mean pregnancy, but confirming it is the first clear step forward. A pregnancy test and ultrasound can help you determine how far along you are and provide important information about your health.
Getting all these details will reduce the fear of the unknown and help you get a full picture of your pregnancy and options.
Create Space for Your Own Needs
This time of year tends to revolve around everyone else’s schedules, meals, and gatherings. You don’t have to say “yes” to every invitation.
It’s okay to slow down. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, choose lighter activities, rest when your body needs it, and give yourself permission to decline events that heighten stress.
Lean on Someone You Trust
It can feel intimidating to carry everything alone. Sharing your concerns with a trusted friend or family member can bring comfort, especially if pregnancy symptoms or emotions feel intense during the holidays. You do not have to navigate this season without support.
While you might want to keep your pregnancy news to yourself, telling someone can help relieve pressure.
