Pregnant and Anxious

I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and feeling so anxious and down. For the past two weeks I have been on the edge of tears and have had really low days and some good days. I’ve tried hiding it from my family and husband as they’d only worry and I’m not sure they’d fully understand how I feel, but they know I’m not myself. I’m a teacher and have recently been told that my position in the school was not secure meaning I’d have to appl for my job again and risk being left without a job. I had to go through the whole application, interview and observation at 6 months pregnant. Luckily I got the job but still went home and burst into tears, I feel like I can not control my thoughts or feelings at times and worry about so many things that haven’t even happened yet eg. Getting post natal depression. I get so anxious coming into work that I feel sick and when I’m here my heart isn’t in it. The pressures are getting to me and I’m struggling. I’ve also got pelvic girdle pain which is making moving around difficult at times. I haven’t been to the GP yet but my mam has urged me to go and speak to them just not sure whether to wait for it to pass or not. Any advice?

Don't wait for it to pass. Rather get help and support early and need minimal than hope it goes away and need more intensive support. If you haven't already speak to your midwife about pelvis pain too as they may be able to advise you on how best to manage it
