Pregnant and feeling very anxious

[reallygrumpy]

I'm 15+2 and feeling very anxious about my pregnancy. This is my 3rd pregnancy, my 1st resulted in my gorgeous DD, my 2nd (last summer) ended in MMC and an ERPC at 9 weeks. I've had a stressful 1st trimester with spotting on and off and passing 2 large clots (sorry if tmi) just before my 12 week scan (which was fine). I don't know why but I'm terrified that this pregnancy is going to result in another mc or a stillbirth and I don't even want to talk about the fact that I'm pregnant. I've recently told my work and we've been telling friends and family and I'm finding it v hard talking about the pregnancy, answering questions about due dates etc.

I had PND after DD was born and do have issues with anxiety, I don't know if trying to have some counselling is the answer. My lovely DH has offer to pay for some extra scans but I'm not sure that's the answer. I've got my 16 week appointment next Friday and I don't know whether it's worth trying to talk to the midwife.

hi, i love your nickname, my dp would say this should be mine as im 12 weeks pg with my 3rd and im the monst grumpy sensitive emotional and anxious person on the planet!!

I think you have a lot on your plate at the moment and if you already get anxious then i completely understand where you are coming from, i would be exactly the same, deffinatly talk to the midwife or see the doctor and see if there is someone who you can talk too to help you get everything into perspective and maybe some tools that will help you calm your thoughts, i had a few sessions last year and they did really help with worry and anxious, it was CBT, there are some books on it too that im thinking of getting.
talk on here too, theres lots of support and people who have been in similar positions.

Good luck xxx
