Has anyone else experienced pregnancy while experiencing high anxiety.
I am finding it really difficult to remain positive and optimistic during my pregnancy. I am now almost 29 weeks.
My worry is mostly about movement. I am told so many different things from different midwives and doctors about what I should feel or shouldn't at this stage. I do end up going to the antenatal day unit or the triage a number of times as my anxiety gets really bad. I am with the specialist teams as my anxiety has got worse during the pregnancy not helped by some complications early on.
I am finding some of the midwives quite difficult when it comes to them understanding my anxiety and how being able to be monitored or go on the heat beat listener helps. I also haven't had great experience with doctors in the past so when they say don't worry on the phone I don't feel I can trust that.
It's at the point where I don't feel I can or even want to go in any more. I've been made to feel like I am wasting their time and I should just be enjoying this time.
Does anyone have any advice or have they experienced the same thing?
Sorry for the epic message. I am just finding things very hard and even more so now with how I have been made to feel.
