Anyone suffer severe anxiety of being pregnant?

I'm terrified of being pregnant. I keep thinking of how trapped I will feel, how I won't be able to "go back". I'm not scared of being a mum, I desperately want it and I'm not getting any younger. But I'm so scared of something growing inside of me, another heartbeat etc. It's freaking me out. I'm actively trying to concieve and the calm logical side of me feels so desperate to be a mum but I'm just so scared.

Has anyone else been through this and gone on to have a baby?

Hi

I didn't feel it all of the time but I did get the odd wave of it, but during and not before. No advice I'm afraid - it just wore off for me. Have you spoken to anyone?

I have spoken to my doctor and she said she sees it often and many people abort as phobia is so intense (I don't want to do this so I'm freaking out more!) The thing is I really want to be a mum and this is holding me back - I have to get over it! I would love to hear about people who have overcome the fear x
