    Your daily stress level

    Another post made me curious. Before having kids, before swayin or HT for me, what was your day-to-day emotional/stress level? Like, I would consider myself a worrier. I worry about everything. I always have.

    I would say I am High stress - Girl mom

    I am curious if the other girl moms are stressed- and I am not talking about anything to do with your kids either, just your personality type and if boy moms are more chilled out.

    Anyone else?

    Cycle 2 - HRC - 40 years of age - one normal emby (amazingly xx) - transferred but BFN - MORE THAN DEVASTATED!!

    Cycle 3 - HRC - 41 years of age - no emby's to transfer - DEVASTATED!

    Cycle 4 - HRC - 42 years of age - my absolute LAST shot! - one normal xx - transferred and omg BFP! Our daughter was born in July 2013 and we are in LOVE!

    I used to be very laid back. I had DS1...became a little stressed but not that much. Had DS2...became a stress case. DS3...I'm just a nutter now. Maybe I'll finally get my DD, now that I've lost all sanity

    I'm a ball of anxiety and a big worrier but i dont stress some things that other people might. But id say Im pretty stressed out most of the time. I have two boys.

    I would say on a scale of 1-10, 1 being no stress and 10 being lots of stress, I am about a 4. But, when situations arise I go straight to a 10. I have not stressed much about my kids... I tend to stress more about things that I don't have a lot of control over like if Bank of America is going to close on the loan for my home on time. I have two boys and wasn't stressed out at all with the first one but I was totally stressed right before conceiving the second because of a work situation (that I didn't have any control over.

    I don't worry per say, I'm just an emotional and hormonal person and PMS, I don't even like being around myself. Sometimes I really feel bad for DH and the kids. I was much less stressed out when DD's were born. So I'd say personality wise, I don't worry I'm just stressed and with our busy life, I'm definitely stressed out. All roads lead straight to my crazy.

    Loving this post, because I was just thinking I don't know any Type A moms of girls LOL. I'm high stress in a high stress career. Plus I'm a classic type A, worrying, control freak--with 2 boys
