I don't know where to start really. I'm 23 +3 weeks pregnant with my first baby which was planned. I have a loving & supportive husband.
I've always been a worrier & stuggled with anxiety (tried medication before but had bad side effects). Since being pregnant I feel like my anxiety/thoughts have gone into overdrive and I'm worried how I will cope with a baby. Sometimes I wonder if I should have children because of all the unknowns and worry it will bring.
I seem to have developed an irrational fear of needing to go to the loo & not being able to make it in time and weeing myself. I've suffered with bladder pain issues in the past due to frequent UTI's which briefly reappeared in my first trimester. I've then also been experiencing excess sweating in downstairs area which makes me feel like I've weed myself when I haven't so I think that's triggered the fear that I might wee myself even though I know I won't. It's just making life feel miserable as I worry these fears will continue and it will stop me from leaving the house.
I just feel like a crazy person and I really hope my mental health improves once the baby comes. I'm going to opt for a planed c section as I'm so worried about giving birth affecting my pelvic floor.
Sorry for the long rant 😔
