Can't stop worrying... :(

[wahwah]

I am worrying myself sick about the downs screening! I will be 23 in September, my hubby will be 31 in December. There's no history of Downs Syndrome in the family, or birth defects, but as I take anti depressants, I'm so worried that something will be wrong with the baby. I haven't let myself get too attached or happy about the pregnancy because i want to wait until my scan on 06/06. I'm so anxious!


Sorry for the rant, but does anyone else feel this way, or can you offer any reassuring words?

Wah Wah,

Neither you nor your husband are even at an age where such a chromosomal abnormality is at high risk.

Babies are beautiful no matter what.

I feel identical, I had been on Setraline to help with my anxiety and had to come off it once I found out, but I am so stressed that everything I do is hurting it. But I also can't get attached - I don't even know what to refer to it as, as I don't want to start calling it a baby in case I lose it and I may be more attached that way. But I really hate calling it "it"!

I began reading stuff about the DS testing but am so anxious about what the results will be, so you aren't alone

Thank you so much Halullat. x
