Very scared but trying to stay positive

Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant but that is not the reason I am scared. We lost our son last year at 9 months due to SIDS and I am so scared we will get pregnant and it will happen again. I am taking a lot of steps I did not take last time, getting an owlet sock, in bed bassinet, camera that monitors movement. I have never really had anxiety before and after losing my son, I have anxiety all the time and as we are trying now there are times when I am getting small panic attacks. I am lucky to have a husband who I can voice anything to but I am just so scared.

I see in another comment that a counselor/therapy is not n option. I would look for some meditation apps or something, it sounds silly, but they help me to stay calm on tough days. I personally use one called "headspace" but I know there are a lot out there.

I'm so so sorry this happened to you. Have you been seeing a counselor to help with the anxiety and panic attacks?

I would definitely see a counselor together before TTC again. Even if it means finding someone who will do it over video chat or going to the next town over.

I have not. I live in a small community and there is not one available. I have been trying to work through it myself with exercise and discussing my feelings with my husband.
