Anxiety after a child Loss

Hi Everyone this is my first ever post. I am hoping I can find some advice and also see that I am not alone.

We lost three children between 20 weeks and 25 weeks pregnant until the doctors decided to investigate what was wrong with me.

We now I have two beautiful children after surgery to fix what was wrong.

Since my first I have suffered severe postnatal depression and anxiety. I took medication for 2 years then stopped to have my second child. I can now manage things generally but it is completely exhausting.

My anxiety is focused around my children's, husbands and my own health I still have a monitor in my 4 year olds room. I need to check they are breathing multiple times a night. I am just constantly on edge I never feel relaxed.

I know it is irrational to be doing these things but i don't know how to stop worrying. I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation that had any advice.

Thanks for reading. X

Hi loopylou I can so identify with your situation. Losing babies is gruelling, and leaves effects.Sorry for what you've been through.

Brief reply, cause I need to go out in a mo.
Short answer, it's natural to become more anxious, don't blame yourself. But there are ways of tackling it ,if you need to.
Back later.
