I just wanted other people’s opinions, so before getting pregnant my partner and I would go out quite a lot and drink with friends, obviously now I’m not able to do that so have been staying in alone more often (currently 12 weeks)
My partner still goes out with friends once or twice a week, he is out tonight and won’t be back mega late (probably around midnight/1am at latest)
The only issue is since getting pregnant I am SO terrified of being home by myself at night. Like utterly terrified. I don’t know why. I’ve never liked being home alone but it is so much worse now.
Tonight I’ve been stressed to bits, panicking, every single noise outside Im listening in case someone is trying to get in, I’m scared to sleep as I can’t put the latch on the door, and I keep thinking someone is going to break in.
I don’t know if this is my hormones or what but I feel like I’m going mad. I don’t know how I’m going to deal with another 6 months of this while pregnant and I can only see it getting worse as it progresses.
Is it worth mentioning to my midwife? If he is out through the day I’m absolutely fine, but at night time it’s like my brain goes in to panic mode. I’m worried I’m going to cause harm to my baby but I really cannot stop worrying.
