Pregnancy hard on anxiety and mental health?

Kelly

I just need some words of encouragement. I am so grateful I have a daughter and am able to get pregnant. I feel terrible and guilty for complaining but I can’t deny that pregnancy is hard on me. I am pregnant again and that anxious feeling is back! Has anyone else had a tough time with pregnancy? It’s hard to even write out why I feel anxious and stressed but it’s overwhelming and I hate how it takes away from the overall pregnancy experience for me. I had a tough first pregnancy and have developed so much anxiety about it happening again. I have health anxiety and had a couple health issues during my pregnancy so of course I’m panicking it’s all going to repeat. I’ve gone to therapy and really tried to work on but here I am at 9 weeks so nervous! Anyone else in the same boat? Have any tips for getting through pregnancy with a positive attitude? Thanks ladies!
