Anxiety

[Penguin27]

I'm just looking for a handhold really

Feel so anxious the last few days. I'm 21+2 and had my anomaly scan this morning, where everything seemed to be fine. The sonographer called me this afternoon to say they missed something and need me to go back in. I know everything is fine, I saw the heartbeat this morning, but I just can't stop worrying.

The last few days my anxiety levels have been very high... I keep getting these thoughts and scenarios in my head of something going wrong - horribly, graphically and totally irrationally! I tell myself that it's silly and nothing is going to happen, but I just can't stop the thoughts once they start.

I hoped seeing the scan would reassure me, but I don't feel like it has

Did they not say anything regarding what it is? Or reassure you a little?

Aw I know how you feel it's horrible having bad anxiety. I have been very anxious through my whole pregnancy for different reasons but the closer I'm getting I'm wondering if everything is going to be ok with the baby. I'm always finding something to worry about. Have they told you when to go back in?x

No they didn't really say anything on the phone. I went back and was seen straight away, but it was just that they hadn't taken any images of the baby's bladder. Everything is (of course) fine.

I'm going to speak to the midwife tomorrow about my anxiety.

Sorry about your anxiety too dede... I'd say try not to worry, but I know it's much easier said than done!

Yeah they could have been clearer, but I think I probably would have still been anxious - just maybe not to the same extent.

My anxiety levels have been so high the last few days, but not for any particular reason. I'm worried about everything. I know it's normal to be a bit anxious during a first pregnancy but this just feels so overwhelming

They could have told you that! What ashame making you worry! I suffered with anxiety so I can totally understand how you feel. I hope your feeling a bit better now, very normal to be nervous I'm 24+2 (second pregnancy) I still worry. I'm a natural born worrier.
