High risk after 35
Hello, I haven’t posted before but I found myself getting really frightened yesterday.
I’m 37 and my job is very stressful and anxiety provoking. Work has been so hard lately and I do 12 hour shifts.
I knew I’d overdone it last week then this weekend I had cramps and felt exhausted.
Woke up yesterday and I just didn’t feel pregnant. It felt awful. I hadn’t slept much so was tired and emotional which didn’t help.
I feel better today but I still worry and all the scaremongering when you are over 35 and a ‘geriatric’ mother really gets to me.
I want to trust my body but I feel like all the literature is telling me not to and as an anxious person I worry I’m damaging my baby with all the adrenaline and stress.
Does anyone else have these thoughts?
