You were and still attached to your father. You are feeling grief as same is not completely out. You need to do reality check. What comes goes. This is life cycle. Give yourself time to heal consciously.

Hi,
I understand. Experiencing grief and emotional distress during pregnancy, especially after the loss of a loved one, is challenging. Acknowledge your emotions . Accept that it's okay to cry and miss your father, grieving does not mean you're harming your baby.
It's natural to feel a mix of emotions, and it's important to address both your mental and emotional well-being for the sake of your health and your baby.
Consult a Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you address negative thoughts and develop healthier ways to cope with the changes you are going through changes with your mind and body . With the guidance you will manage your emotional well-being and navigate this difficult time while maintaining a positive environment for yourself and your baby.

HI,
It's completely normal to feel sadness and to miss your father, especially during significant life changes like pregnancy. It's important to acknowledge your emotions rather than suppress them, as crying and feeling upset are natural reactions to grief. Allow yourself to grieve and consider talking to someone who can provide support, such as a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional. This can help you process your feelings in a healthy way. To further support your emotional well-being, consider incorporating relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and engaging in activities that bring you joy. Remember, your emotions do not directly harm your baby, but taking care of your mental health is crucial for both you and your babyâs well-being.

Hi,
Firstly, this is nothing to worry about. During pregnancy, there are a lot of hormonal changes and it leads to certain mood alterations. There are some steps that can help you.
Next Steps
Make a list of all the things that are on your mind. Divide them in two columns namely “under my control” and “not under my control”. Whenever faced with a thought from second list, just tell yourself - “It is normal to be upset, but I will be fine.”
Health Tips
Maintain a diary. It will change the game.

Hey, thank you for sharing what youâre going through. I can imagine how tough it must be to balance the emotions of grief and the excitement or anxiety around your pregnancy. Itâs completely normal to miss your father, especially during a life-changing time like this. Grief doesnât follow a timeline, and it's okay to feel those emotions- even when you're expecting.
In terms of your baby, itâs important to know that feeling sad or emotional wonât harm them. Pregnancy can bring your emotions to the forefront, as its a great change in your life and for your mind & body. What can help is being kind to yourself during these moments, allowing yourself to grieve without feeling guilty for it. Trying not to cry or forcing yourself to be happy might put unnecessary pressure on you. Instead, accepting these feelings as part of the process can actually be more healing.
Next Steps
If youâre finding it hard to cope with these emotions, it might be very helpful to talk to a therapist or counselor who can guide you through this while you navigate pregnancy. Your emotional well-being matters, and giving yourself space to process your grief in a healthy way will benefit both you and your baby.
Health Tips
Be gentle with yourself. It's okay to feel what you're feeling.
