32 weeks and really struggling with sickness

I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my second, I had severe sickness with my first the whole pregnancy but so far I haven't had any with this one.

The last 2 weeks or so I have been really struggling with indigestion heartburn and sickness. I have severe health anxiety that only started since being pregnant and I am scared to eat cause I know it will make me ill so now I am losing weight, I have never had a great relationship with food anyway so hadn't gained any weight at all up to 2 weeks ago (hadn't lost any either)

Now I've lost half a stone in 2 weeks and I feel like I'm starving my baby and stuck in this vicious cycle of I feel bad for not eating so I eat, it makes me ill and not want to eat and so on.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and can give me some advice? I've been up since 5am and had a panic attack because I can't cope with the sickness/guilt cycle.

Also my health anxiety is through the roof because I keep thinking what if it isn't pregnancy related and I'm just dying instead and I don't know what to do. I just want to not be pregnant anymore (which just makes more guilt) :(

Speak to your GP or midwife, I suffered heartburn/indigestion after 30 weeks, I couldn’t bend down or pick something off the floor without feeling sick or actually being sick. I made myself macaroni cheese everyday as that seemed to be the only food I could stomach. GP gave me some medicine that I took before each meal. It did help a lot, but I still couldn’t eat red meat, maybe a little chicken. I presume you’ve tried Gaviston.
