Absolutely terrified and dreading tomorrow

[Kernowwench]

Hi
ive recently discovered I’m pregnant….well weeks ago actually but it’s taken many many weeks/months to get too see a midwife or have a scan it’s awful
anyway the dating scan is tomorrow
im estimated to be 6-7 months already
im absolutely terrified of what they will find,that the baby will have complications ect.
im 40 for goodness sake
im already high risk,I can’t settle my heart is racing and I want to hide away
I have issues with anxiety as it is
i just keep thinking of all the negative things I may find out tomorrow. This is my 5th so it’s not like I haven’t been hear before I’m just so overwhelmed right now.

Congratulations

Take a deep breath and tackle one thing at a time. You can do this…just one step at a time.

I know the fear. Chances are that all will be well. And if not, you will cope. But don’t try to cope with something that almost certainly won’t happen as there is the path to madness.

This happened to me earlier in the year. Found out at 20 plus weeks.

I was terrified for the dating scan/anomaly scan (they did both at the same time). I have a history of anomalies found on these scans plus folate deficiency. My baby is absolutely perfect.

Hope everything goes well for you.
