Hello,
This is my first pregnancy and the realities of the experience are not feeling as magical as I expected and imagined. I have always wished for a family one day and this is really destroying the experience.
I feel very detached from my body and feel constantly terrified I am doing something wrong; eating something wrong, moving in the wrong way, Is this pain normal? Is it okay to use this soap? .... My mood feels all over the place and I am terrified my partner will give up and feel so insecure just now.
If the pregnancy does go okay I am terrified of the experience of giving birth; of something going wrong. I just don't know how to stop worrying quite so much and begin enjoying the experience - are these the kind of fears you speak to a midwife about?
Or does everyone have them and gradually they disappear?
Thank-you in advance.
