Ttc with Emetophobia!!

Katie • UK🇬🇧anyone needs to talk or needs advice I'm here for you💁🏼❤️

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone had been through the same thing and could give me any advice?!

Basically I have Emetophobia (phobia of being sick) it doesn’t affect me as much as others but I have a strong fear of it to the point if I’m going to be sick, without even realising I seem to psychology keep it down. I have panic attacks when I feel overly nauseous and will often spend hours hanging over a toilet if I think there could be any slight possibility of me being sick! Me and my partner are TTC which I’m so excited for but obviously I’m terrified of when that morning sickness hits! I’m also so so scared of how this will effect the little bundle of joy causing it! I wouldn’t want excess stress to affect my pregnancy and I’m fully aware that stopping being sick would be very dangerous! Unfortunately it’s just something I can’t seem to overcome no matter how hard I try.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been through the same or something similar and how they dealt with it?

Thank you for reading and please no judgment!! 🥰❤️
