Emetophobic Newbie

[ksmall1906]

hello all! Kayla here, I'm 27 and will be married in June of 2011 to the love of my life. We have talked and think we will TTC sometime around April or May of 2011.

This will be my first and my fiances 3rd (though due to a LONG story he does not have custody of 1 and 2). I am scared but exceptionally excited, I have always wanted a baby, but have had some emotional issues that made me rethink that for a while! I suffer from emetophobia, or the fear of throwing up. Thankfully this has taken a back seat to my excitement of being able to rasie a child in the fairly near future (assuming we are blessed with pregnancy of course!).

Are there any other current moms moms 2 b that have this phobia?

I look forward to reading and learning from everything on this forum!

Hey meepmeep! I am sorry to hear you have similar issues, I never wish this upon anyone. I have had the phobia all of my life, I have only thrown up 4 times in my entire life. At the height of the phobia I couldnt sleep most nights and had horrific panic attacks that left me drained physically and emotionally. I found help on-line and I have aslo been to a few therapists when it gets really bad. I find that if my stress levels get high then my "emet" comes out more. Thus why I am rather nervous about being pregnant. A: stress levels will be up so it will be worse and B: morning sickness..need I say more!
