Really need some support.

Ugh. Feel like everything is going wrong with this pregnancy.

After finding out a few weeks that I'm rhesus negative, the hospital simply Will not listen to me that I will NOT be having another pregnancy. If I was planning on another baby I would need the injections and further bloods etc. But I am not, therefor I dont! But they're really pressurising me to have them anyway Incase I change my mind.

Have also found out I am high risk pre-eclampsia so need further monitoring. I feel like the tests and needles and appointments are never ending and I'm only 14 weeks.

I dont do well in hospitals I get major anxiety over injections and blood tests etc an I don't know how to cope with it all.

Also because I'm having twins the risk of needing a c section is a lot higher which is also making me so anxious.

Feel like I can't enjoy being pregnant because the stress from everything else that's going on is just ruining it all 😢😢😢 xx

I don't have much to offer other than My partner and I are both O- (lucky for me) but they still wanted my bloods drawn to ensure I wasn't cheating on him and had a rhesus + baby in me creating antibodies. I obliged as it's a liability to them not to do standard bloods protecting me/future babies. If you were to accidentally get pregnant even after one of you is sterilized (it happens) they could be legally liable to anything bad happening to you/baby. I hope you can navigate through this for the most part unscathed, this is meant to be a memorable happy time for you & DH. Keep your chin up bella!

Thanks doll for your support. I'm really trying not to let it get me down. And because I Know this is the only time I'm going to do with I'm getting upset bcos I can't enjoy it. Hormones probably aren't helping right now either xxx

Oh honey i'm sorry your so stressed! like pp said if an accidental pregnancy were to happen its best you do get the shot and once you get it, it will be over with and you don't have to stress over it anymore..
I know the thought of a c-section could be overwhelming especially if you haven't had it before but I can tell you from experience with both types of birth..its really not bad at all. I had an emergency section with my first and was devastated then had a v-bac with my second and to be honest now I really don't care which way it happens as both have recovery difficulties of their own and a c-section is really not as bad as people think it is.

I'm Rh- and it is only a max of 2 injections - just 1 if your baby (like my DD) is also born Rh-.
The injection honestly isn't any different to any other injection and I barely felt a thing. In fact the whooping cough injection gave me more of a sore arm!
Really nothing to worry about or stress over xxx

Thanks for your support girls. I know at the end of the day what happens Will happen and I'm stronger than I give myself credit for. Just all feels like a bit of a mess at the moment!! I don't think it's helping that I still haven't got a bump and I can't feel them yet. When all that starts to happen the excitement hopefully Will take over the worry xxx
