Hoping for some positive stories! I'm 32 weeks pregnant with much wanted baby and I'm struggling to cope with anxiety. I've developed pretty bad contamination ocd and constantly feel that everything around me is dirty and I'm going to somehow harm the baby. I'm having CBT but it doesn't seem to help much. I've also found a private psychotherapist who I've just started seeing and have finally got an appointment with the perinatal mental health team in my area. I'm so scared all the time and feel so vulnerable I just don't know what to do. At the moment I just wish I could hide away somewhere safe till the baby is born!
Any other mums out there who felt like this, what helped? How did you reconcile your fears?
