This is my first baby and I have wanted this for such a long time, but I'm struggling with the anxiety of it all, a couple of weeks ago I started bleeding, not sure why, but it stopped and there was no clots or cramping, so the early pregnancy unit said that it could be that I had 2 scans in 6 days (I had to have the second scan because they couldn't date me on my first) so we left it there then a week later I started bleeding again called the early pregnancy unit again and they got me in Tuesday just gone to have another scan, thankfully everything was ok, but again over the last couple of days since the scan I have still been bleeding lightly with very light cramping, even though I saw my baby just 2 days ago and everything was fine I just can't stop worrying, a lot of people have just said to me that this doesn't go away and even when the baby is here I will just worry about other things, But how does everyone cope with the anxiety and worry that something will go wrong

Hey, sorry to hear anxiety is troubling you so much, this is definitely something you can ask to talk to your midwife or GP about.
I find keeping busy helps and distraction, so I make sure I've got plans with friends around work, make sure I spend time outside every day, make sure I'm keeping active (I'm currently aiming for 9500 steps a day but know I might not be able to do so many later in pregnancy).
Your healthcare team might also be able to refer you to the peri-natal mental health team if needed.
