help ? vent
Ok so this will probably be a bit long please read I really need any type of comments or help or anything
So lately I've been so stressed out and anxious because I've developed the fear of dying and I am pregnant and I am 23 years old and I am 14 weeks right now
The thing is my baby is diagnosed with anencephaly which by what doctors have told me the baby will not live pass maybe a few hours after birth well due to that my pregnancy is considered high risk and also because I'm at risk for preeclampsia that I had with my first
I had 2 other pregnancies after my son and didn't get preeclampsia and now with this one I am on a daily low dose of aspirin to lower the chances of getting it but idk why lately I've came across so many news of women dying during or right after childbirth from blood clots, blood loss, high blood pressure etc. And all that has gave me such a big fear
I do obviously have the option to deliver my baby early due to its condition but I've also read of some babies with that living longer than the predicted time and even if my baby lives for just hours I want to deliver till full term but then this fear takes over especially being at high risk I feel so scared of dying and I have 3 children I do not want to leave behind
I already have restless leg syndrome but lately I feel my whole like left arm and leg tingling and just uncomfortable and my head has been hurting everyday which I read online can also happen from stress and anxiety but headaches are a symptom of preeclampsia so everything just stresses my mind out and due to my fear of death I know I am so stressed and so anxious basically everyday
And yesterday I read of another mother dying 6 hours after birth and I just can't get it out of my mind I am so scared it will literally give me a panic attack if I think about it too much ....
