Scared of being pregnant
This might sound bizarre but I’ve tried desperately to get pregnant and finally had success with a third round of IVF but now I’m pregnant I suddenly feel a bit panicky and scared of the whole thing. Always had white coat syndrome - not great in hospitals and with medical stuff - and I find all the stuff happening or about to happen to my body quite overwhelming and frightening. Not feeling good isn’t helping and I do have mild depression but I find myself in a strange place now - esp as I’m still in the 12 week wait and can’t confide in others to ease my feelings. I know carrying a baby is the most ‘natural’ thing in life but has anyone else struggled at all getting used to it?
I’m not in your exact shoes but I understand the anxiety. I had so much anxiety with my first and even though both my children were planned I felt weird when I found out I was pregnant with my second. I felt panicky like is this really what’s best? Are we ready for this? Even though we talked about it months before getting pregnant. Here if you want to chat.
