I have a 10 month old baby girl and am due again in May (yes i knw...wasnt planned! But very welcome!)
My 1st pregnancy i was very anxious. I have ME, severe migrains, dizziness and vertigo at the best of times. My anxiety kicked in due to horrible dizzy spells wen cooking, going down stairs or standing for too long. Got ref'd to a pregnancy psychologist. In the last trimester it kinda all went away. This pregnancy is a lot smoother. However, psychologist has "diagnosed" me with "severe OCD about my daughters health and my wellbeing". Im so tired of being labled and judged. It seems that no matter wat i do it seems to be wrong. Ive inly been to docs 3 times in 10 months about my daughter. 1 bcus she cried everytime she done a wee or poo so health visitor advised i get her checked out, 2 becus she had a fall and hurt her face very close to her eye causing bruising around eye area and i just wanted to be sure it wasnt anything serious, 3 bcus i was changing about 12 poo nappies a day and just wanted advice as it didnt seem normal and all mum friends i askd suggested i get her checked out. But psycho dr wrote a report to social and health visiting team and adult mental health saying i need healp as im "overly obsessed". His report was full of random diagnosis and he jst twisted everything. Now i have social services, health visitors and adult mental health visiting me to try and "support me with my OCD and anxiety". It took me a while to get help with my anxiety and i was told off for leaving it too long. But it seems that no matter wat i do its wrong. Im so sick off it all. All i do is turn up for followup appointments and he tells me off for going! If i miss them i get a call telling me off!
Was i wrong for getting bubba checked out? Any1 else had anxiety during pregnancy? Seriously sixk of being judged and labled!
