Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has struggled with anxiety in pregnancy before and if so ways you dealt with it? I'm 19 weeks tomorrow, just starting to feel movements and everything so far looks good. Previous to this pregnancy I have lost 8 babies through miscarriage, I thought I would feel over the moon to be pregnant and don't get me wrong I feel so so blessed to have gotten this far and all be well but I find myself panicking and working myself up at every little thing, no appointments are enjoyable as I'm on pins and bracing myself for bad news. I ended up in EPU today and the midwife there I have seen with probably 4/5 of my losses and she's putting me forward for a 'case midwife' so literally somebody I can rely on to text, call whenever I start to feel anxious and somebody who will do all my appointments and see me through my delivery and aftercare. I just can't help but feel guilty I'm not enjoying this whole experience more and would love to hear if any of you have suffered with anything similar?
