I will try and keep this post as short as possible but I need some reassurance/support I guess...
I am around 6 weeks pregnant but have a few health/psychological issues which I think might effect this pregnancy and just wondering if people think I should ask for some extra support and whether my reasons/health issues are valid:-
I have had a few laparoscopy surgeries in the last 2 years - due to scar tissue in my uterus which effected my periods - the scarring was removed but before I fell pregnant my periods were getting lighter and more painful (my previous symptoms of scar tissue).
I also last year (July) has abnormal cells removed under a general aneastethic - this procedure would normally be done under a local but I requested to be put to sleep (after a failed attempt under local) due to ptsd from a previous Gynae procedure which causes me to get scar tissue in the first place (termination).
I think I have something called Tokophobia and already have underlying anxiety and depression.
I am going to see my GP today to speak to her but I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences and what support did you get?
I haven’t told my partner I’m pregnant yet (he will be over the moon) but just want to make sure I have a good support network in place.
Would my issues mean I might need extra scans/consultant appointments? I’m just not sure if I should be pushing for this - I have been pregnant before and got no support from any health professionals - hence my decision to terminate - this has had a massive impact on my mental health and I want to see it through this time as I genuinely want a child just hate the idea of being pregnant :(
