Flat and spare tires....

My hormones are outta control and I'm feeling that 'spare tire'.. (I'm only 8 weeks and just feeling fat, and not pregnant yet..) I'm constantly hungry, yet nauseated and moody all the time..... no better time for a flat tire, right?!

5 minutes outside of work on a 40 minute drive in I get a 'driving on the rim' flat.. I can normally just change my own flats, but I figure it best not to pick up a heavy truck tire while preggers, so I had to wait an hour for Roadside Assistance to come and help..

I called my husband and the sweetheart that he is tried to calm me down and tell me it's all going to be okay, but all I could do to vent my frustrations was cry and yell. :(

I've always been the stressed out type of person.. I can never actually fully calm down.. hell, when I was a kid I would freak when I colored outside the lines, so I just you could say it's just hardwired in...

I know I need to stay calm while I'm pregnant, not just for my health, but for the baby's. So how do you ladies deal with everyday stresses like this?

I am 11weeks this week and I too am emotional freak and hate feeling this way especially at Christmas. But I lost my daughter in April this year. She was stillborn at 35 weeks and weighted 8lb 2oz. This pregnancy is so hard as I fear it will end again. I have two older daughters of 12&9 and they stress me out too!
Listening to music or watching a program I love helps. I would like to know any other ways to destress too.
