Has anyone became more anxious 30weeks+?

Hi has anyone else found their Anxiety to be more present during the later stages?
Struggling to cope without worrying about silly things soon as I feel the panic rising I think oh god I'm going mad I'm going to lose touch of reality, but of course I'm not and I know this but still sucks. I think I need to re go through all my cbt stuff again.
I'm wondering if it's because I'm struggling to sleep again and I'm just so tired that's causing it because I've coped perfectly fine so far through.

Yes me. I'm now 35 weeks and keep worrying about movements. I think as it is the last stretch and everything feels so much more imminent and yet so far away. I have now had to give consideration on how I'll give birth and all the risks which comes with each choice. I have no idea how to really prep for the baby's arrival.

Absolutely go back through your CBT notes. I shredded mine ages ago and now regret it as it would've helped so much during this pregnancy.

Have you considered doing any hypnobirthing or meditation?

I always think during the night and dark it is always harder to rationalise and not worry about things. Our minds work overtime at night. I think that is quite common.

I hope with your notes etc your anxiety improves and you can start to enjoy the last stage of pregnancy.

I'm almost 24 weeks and i am so anxious I keep waking up thinking my waters have broken. I am obsessed with movements ans if I dont feel her for an hour or 2 I think something is wrong. I dont think it will get better or easier as I am so anxious this time and this is my 4th pregnancy (3rd baby). I cant enjoy this pregnancy at all I am so scared of losing her.

I am 32+5 with baby number 3.. i am constantly worrying about labour/birth.. how im going to cope with 3 children.. what if i die in childbirth.. all that kinda stuff😥 mostly at night too.. does my head in x

It's horrible isn't it. Last year I was really anxious every day suffering from bad intrusive thoughts that I thought meant I was ill now I know it was just anxiety that is all which I've had help with and come so far.
But now where back in November and I can remember the complete difference on how I am now to how bad I was last year it does scare me like what if I end up like that again?

Think that's what is making me feel so
anxious just the worrying. I know it shouldn't happen again because I know now I suffered badly from anxiety I just didn't know that at the time that's all it was and now I know how to deal with it etc and that I'm fine, BUT it still worries me so much!
