Does anyone here suffer with major health anxiety and are struggling with the health effects of there pregnancy

Hi I suffer with health anxiety and anxiety in general, I’m on fluoxetine for it. Im 36 in June and 5w 4 days pregnant and got a 14 year old daughter and 9 year old son

I have major anxiety issues and overweight as well I feel like it’s consuming me

Yes I suffer pretty bad with health anxiety. I also have severe kidney disease too. It's hard on a daily basis. I feel you hun. Always here if you need a friend 💛 xx

I’ve had severe anxiety this whole time, which triggers nausea for me (and I’m alrdy nauseous) so it’s been absolutely horrible.

Please try and enjoy the health you have because there are people much worse off than you. If excess weight is all that's wrong then bless you I pray you never become ill like I did 🙂♥️

there will always be people who will try and “one up you” or have things worse. That doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to feel some type of way because someone has it worse than you. Whatever you are feeling is VALID!

@Haven thank you so much it isn’t just excess weight that is wrong with me I have major health anxiety to the point I didn’t know if I could go through with my pregnancy with my little much wanted pudding 😢 xx

Which risks? And what if your 37? You can live a long happy life if you want. Get treatment and move on.

For a group that’s meant to support mamas with anxiety and depression I’m rlly disappointed in a few of these comments :( being over weight and pregnant is scary, (I’m also overweight and always have been), but being pregnant in general in scary! You got this mama! 💕

@Olguta I have a number of different risks including the fact that I can not give birth naturally and have had previous birth trauma and losses! Not so easy to move on when suffering from major anxiety 😦

Just to let you know before anyone says anything I've had pre eclampsia and just getting better from pnd so my health has been bad

Is there anyway you can go go counseling to help deal with this issues? At least some of the anxiety. That and meds is the only think helping me right now. i have multiple health issues and pregnant with our second baby. Did not have these issues with the first so its a much harder pregnancy. Feel free to message if you evee want to talk

@Alison second pregnancies are definitely not easier
