34 Weeks and worried.

[KT1993]

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and I have had no issues with my mental health throughout my whole pregnancy, i have been so happy and so excited, no recent trauma or stress but all of a sudden this week I've been experiencing horrible thoughts.. I am now getting to the point where I'm constantly trying to battle with my thoughts, I have never had any mental health issues before and i am really scared that this is going to effect my excitement of the baby. I cant even look at photos of babies at the moment cos it makes me over think and worry and the thoughts seem to come back... is this my hormones?? will this go away before my baby comes as its really getting me down and i just want to be ok for when my baby comes.

Is this thoughts about something happening to the baby?
Either way I wouldn't say it's hormones no.
Whilst I do think there is an anxiety just before your LO arrives they aren't bad thoughts.
It's worth speaking to your MW/GP I think op.

@SleighbellsZ Thank you for your reply! Yes it is, I feel like i am going crazy. I spoke to my midwife yesterday and she just said "this is perfectly normal and happens all the time" either way I'm still worried and its driving me crazy!! I may see how i am in a few days and try and speak to my midwife again, thank you!
