Hello,
I am 6 months pregnant, first baby, first pregnancy. All has been well, all appointments and scans I have been to I have been told I am 'text book' which I take to be a good thing.
Over the last 2 weeks my life has taken a huge downward spiral, things are all out of my control and I feel I could be very close to losing my marriage, my home, I have already lost my best friends....all in 2 weeks and all because of other peoples bad decisions.
I cant breathe, my heart is beating so fast that I feel light headed, I cant sleep because of over thinking and because my heart is racing and I feel there is so much pressure on my chest I struggle to breathe. I have paid close attention to my baby, taking time out to lie down and feel it move, it seems to be in the same pattern it was before, I haven't noticed any reduced movements.
I am concerned if my stress levels and anxiety may have an affect on the baby. I am due to see my midwife in 2 weeks time for my 26 week appointment and I am not sure whether to just keep an eye on my feelings and tell her when I see her or to book to see my GP.
Can anyone here tell me if this is something I shouldn't be ignoring? I don't like to create an issue out of nothing but my baby is my one and only concern and I'm worried I could be putting strain on its little body.
