[Noodlesxxx]

Hi...long post so plz bear with me....just found out im pregnant ...im 39 with 3 other kids...back in january i had a twin miscarriage which was so emotionally and physically exhausting due to it being so complicated....the pregnancy was a surprise but a happy one so we were gutted it ended the way it did...ever since then i have wanted to get pregnant again...now that i actually am im freaking out big time....feeling so anxious and worried about everything...i have a history of depression and anxiety which doesnt help things lol anyway...is it normal to be this stressed and anxious when i should be happy??? Also ive always had bad morning sickness with all my other kids....dreading that stage coming more than anything....any advice on how to deal with it all would be a massive help....feel like ive maybe made the wrong call getting pregnant...so confused xxx

OMG!!!! Completely completely completely normal! Miscarriages for anyone suffering with or without high anxiety finds it to be traumatic and so naturally subsequent pregnancies are fraught with worry.

My first pregnancy ended in MC, I’m now 21 weeks pregnant and I’m working hard on looking after myself and keeping the anxiety at bay.

Remember there is no “should” in what your feeling in pregnancy. Everyone is different. If you feel the anxiety is getting too much then go to GP. There’s a range of support they can offer you, also if you ever need to talk I’m happy to chat 💜

Hi kate...thankyou so much for replying....its just such a mixed bag of emotions...we really want this baby to stick...im so terrified i wont cope mentally or physically with the pregnancy and feel so guilty for feeling like this and im only 4 and a half weeks lol

I had a miscarriage last October at 39 and know how you feel.
I’m now 29 weeks pregnant, fell a few days before my 40th.
I was very worried for the first few weeks, didn’t help I had a bleed at 7 weeks and scared the life out of me.
Went to the EPAU and they gave me an early scan. That really helped me once I saw the heartbeat.
I still get days now when you still worry, but it does get better.

Hi emma...did you have any sickness??
