Anxiety

Rachel

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and being cared for by the mental health team as I have PTSD from working at a maternity hospital. I was very anxious pre conception and on early pregnancy. I felt great through second trimester but now I'm in third trimester I'm so scared my baby will die. Every little thing I'm panicking. I used to be a midwife so the rational side of me keeps telling me I'm fine baby is well but there's this crazy part of my brain saying all these bad things will happen. I'm a first time mum and just want the baby to come out healthy and well (and preferably term).

They asked which hospital I want to deliver at and I honestly can't decide as I just don't want to go to the hospital at all! (But baby is big and I'm sensible of the risks and know I need to go in to be safe)

Anyone else struggling with anxiety from being pregnant?
