TTC and beyond with anxiety

Morning all
Really looking for some advice or reassurance or anyone who is in a similar position to me who may also want to share or find comfort in talking about anxiety while TTC.

Bit of background from me. Me and DP at 31 TTC #1. Never been pregnant before. Came off the pill around April but last month was the first month actively tracking my cycle and trying to conceive. Last month I thought I was pregnant straight away but after 53 days AF finally arrived (I'm usually regular 28-33 days but I have been on the pill for 15 years and had only been off it for 6 months...).

Anyway I also suffer with really bad anxiety and my main symptoms are panic and nausea which is awful because I have a huge fear of vomiting. Part of the reason I haven't wanted to be pregnant earlier is my fear of vomiting and "morning" sickness. I've now decided I'll just cope with all my fears because I really want to be a mother and I'm not getting any younger but I can't help but feel really anxious and scared when I think about it and I know I'll have to deal with feeling rubbish, needles (another phobia) and the first trimester really scares me especially knowing I won't be telling many people and I'll have to go to work!

Sorry for the long post! Has anyone got any advice or does anyone else feel this way? X

No advice but just to say I struggle with bad anxiety and it's hard. I'm ttc now. Just to say you're not alone. Flowers
