Peri-natal anxiety

Currently pregnant with baby no2. Had DD in July 2020 after an ectopic pregnancy in 2019. Found the whole experience of the ectopic pregnancy very traumatic, and had bad anxiety whilst pregnant with DD. Just as I relaxed a bit after 20 week scan with DD, COVID hit and the worry and isolation of that first lockdown hit me very hard. I was diagnosed with peri-natal anxiety, was very anxious until I had my DD and had quite a traumatic delivery.

I have been much more relaxed this time around, fell pregnant quickly and so far everything has been smooth sailing. I had a bit of a scare today as had some period like pains (23 weeks) but have been checked over, all fine and said likely to be everything stretching.

The problem is it’s sent me absolutely spiralling in terms of my anxiety. Being back in triage, the noises, the equipment and the worry Sad. Part of me just can’t believe I will (hopefully) end up with two beautiful healthy children. It all feels too good to be true.

Anyone suffered with peri-natal anxiety and had a relapse second time around?
