26 weeks and feeling so

Since my routine appointment yesterday afternoon with the midwife I have been an emotional wreck. There is nothing wrong except for a trace of sugar in my urine but I just feel like everything's absolutely fine and then something comes along and knocks me down again.
I felt like this after the 12wk scan because we were given a very high risk of Downs (1 in 14) but since the 20 week scan I have been much more positive due to no obvious abnormalities being found. I'm desperately trying to avoid a c-section after having an elective to deliver twins (now 2.5) but it just seems its going that way. I know its a while off yet but it doesn't stop me thinking about it. I almost feel like I don't want to see her any more or any other member of the medical profession-stupid I know.I don't remember feeling like this during my other two pregnancies,I've even started making enquiries about independent midwives.

I remember the emotions well - I think 26-30 weeks is the worst. Do look at getting an independent mw if it helps. Try (of you can with your twins) to have a rest over Christmas.
