Anxiety robbing my pregnancy

Hello Dear Ladies, while writing this my hands feel very cold and my mind is not thinking straight. I had ds1 in 2017 , mc at 2019 and dd1 at 2020,. My dd1 pregnancy was very hard as I was affected by severe anxiety. Somehow after she was born I was calm. I have always wanted a third baby and love having lots of children around house. My husband feels the same. We tried last month and to my surprise I found out I am pregnant 2 days back, my af was supposed to come at 6th july and it hasnt turned up. When i took a test with early first response test kit it showed positive. So far the symptoms are having dizziness, cramps, headache and a tad bit of nausea in the morning. However this morning I dont have any symptoms except mild lightheadedness and blood in stool (bright red and not constipated). I am sitting at office and unable to focus on anything, with experience now I should know when to worry and when to not. But the anxiety is the same as what I had for previous babies and I am losing myself. I need to some help...I would like to connect with some pregnant buddies here. Anyone who can offer some advise and help will be awesome...baby dust to all of us xx

Hi @Winkle2020
Are you anxious about being pregnant, or having another, or about miscarriage?

And did you seek professional help for your severe anxiety with your other pregnancy? Now might be the time.to think about that for this one too 🤗

@Flederjo I am anxious about having another mc, I badly want this baby. I am not pulling up my courage to even talk to professionals about my pregnancy. Can GP offer some help for pregnancy related anxiety?
Thank you for talking to me,,, :)

Hi, yes, I think the first port of call would be your GP or your midwife if you have one.

Also, you know that you can have a successful pregnancy so try to focus on that!
