High risk after 35

Tamara

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?
