Anxiety in pregnancy

[Missksuzuki]

Hey, is anyone else in a total freak out? I developed bad anxiety last year after a missed miscarriage which dragged on for over 2 months. I got a handle on my anxiety but now I'm pregnant again (18 weeks) and I'm freaking about. My anxiety is back, is it OK? Am I going to be having panic attacks throughout my pregnancy, is every social gathering going to be ruined by one when someone mentions the thing growing inside me. There's something growing inside me! Everything will change. Things will never be the same again! What's going to happen!? That doesn't happen in the movies!? I'm bricking it and my hormones are making me feel out of control. Does/did anyone else feel like this? When does the excitement and chilled out 'yeah it's due on this date, we're really excited' begin? I also feel so guilty for being so scared when people want what I have and can't. X

I have very bad anxiety due to a loss at 22 weeks. I'm not 26 weeks pregnant and have started counselling, she's working with me right up until birth.
Maybe you should speak to your midwife about it, it's better to get it under control than being lost and scared in your own thoughts xx

I'm now **

I've had it too. It was quite bad in the first and some of the second trimester but I started therapy and headspace and feel like it's getting better now I'm in the third trimester.
