Hi,
I don't post on here usually, but I feel very scared at the moment. I am 32 weeks pregnant with horrid pregnancy nausea and emetophobic and today I am not coping.
I am feeling very sick and panicking, I have a history of severe anxiety and panic attacks which I recovered from with the help of medication and CBT, but this pregnancy has brought it all back. I have to go and collect my 5 yo dd from school in just over an hour and I am terrified to go.
I can usually talk myself round and sort my head out in these situations, but today I just feel fragile. It may be to do with the fact that I have a cold/cough which is making me feel worse and that I have just found out there is a tummy bug going round mt dd's class, her teacher is off with it.
I have not told my mw about my heightened anxiety as there really isn't much she can do about it and I cannot go back on medication whilst pregnant obviously. I just need to calm down, but I just feel sicker and sicker as time goes on. I can't decide if it's because I'm panicking or because I am getting this bug, which is silly because dd hasn't even had it yet.
Sorry for rambling, I just don't know what to do.
