I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with nausea since early on. The thing is I have a severe phobia of vomiting so it's caused great anxiety. After feeling sick developed into a huge panic attack on Thursday night, I ended up at the doctors on Friday crying my eyes out and saying I can't carry on any longer and was considering abortion.
The doctor said abortion at this point would be like giving birth and she thinks the mental affects would be much worse than another 23 weeks of feeling this way.
I'm not leaving the house as I'm too scared about feeling sick in public and having a panic attack. Some days I don't move from my sofa.
I'm not living my life and I'm a shadow of who I was and it's not fair on my 4 year old son.
The doctor suggested I restart Sertraline. I was on it before I got pregnant.
I'm just scared of the side effects of increased nausea and anxiety as that's the last thing I need at the moment! So I haven't started them yet since picking them up on Friday.
What do you think?
