Hello ladies
I am 24+4 and absolutely delighted to be having my first baby after a mmc earlier this year. I am a self-confessed perfectionist (I know this will soon have to go out the window) and whilst I'd never admit it in real life; I do have a tendency towards anxiety/slightly irrational thoughts (and DH tries his best in these moments to calm me down).
I'm feeling very stressed about all the pollutants which surround us I the city, I live in London (suburbs) and travel through London each day for work. The amount of exhaust fumes which I am exposed to each day is really making me worried. Largely because I have know environmental pollutants can lead to development issues. I literally feel like each time I walk down the road I may as well have my mouth over an exhaust pipe, I find myself wanting to hold my breath when a bus comes past (OK sounding really crazy now). To add to the mix things like the water quality here is pretty bad, I feel like a ball of irrationality about what is going into my body and could be effecting my baby.
Anyone able to convince me that things are more likely to be OK than not? I want to enjoy this special time but all these things are stopping me from doing so.
Thanks all x
