Anxiety

Does anyone struggle with anxiety? Mine seems to be worse than ever with being pregnant. My mind races constantly, and I worry about everything...constantly.

My biggest worry is that something is wrong with my baby. I have had one ultrasound at 6 weeks, so I'm just worrying that something is wrong. I have a Doppler and can hear a heartbeat, but it hasn't really eased my mind. My anxiety is so bad that I haven't even shared the news of my pregnancy (I'm 19 weeks), which may be part of the problem. I worry that if I share it, something bad will happen. Then, I worry about my worry hurting the baby. It's a vicious cycle I can't escape.

I try to rationalize with myself, but I just can't! I don't even know who I am. Is it the hormones?! I just wanted to see if anyone else is struggling and had any tips or tricks to help get me through the next 20+ weeks I'm just hoping this stress and anxiety isn't impacting my baby 😢
