Hi ladies,

Has anyone who has previously suffered with Anxiety/Health Anxiety found that since finding out they were pregnant it's gotten a worse?

I started getting HA at the beginning of the year after a bit of a health scare - which turned out to be nothing - and with a bit of CBT I got it under control, so much so it barely bothered me. Since getting pregnant though I've been really bad again! It's not even about the pregnancy, bizarrely I'm not worrying about miscarriage and I have the mentality of what will be will be, but it's the things I had my health anxiety about before (cancer related) that have started playing on my mind again.

My HA before always came and went with my cycles so I always assumed it was hormone related, I just hadn't thought it'd get worse when pregnant!

Fingers crossed it doesn't linger for the full 9 months! xx
 
Me!!! I haven't slept in 3 days. It's terrible, I've been crying all day because I think something is wrong, I'm going to the dr today actuallyz
 
Hey there, I suffer from anxiety and have been through CBT. My anxiety also makes me obsessive which isn't helpful at all!

I have been worried sick since getting my BFP particularly because we had to go through IVF. I spend every minute worrying something is going to go wrong and obsess over things I read on the Internet! I'm hoping it calms down after my first scan!
