A TMI rant.
Ugh. I’m feeling so fed up.
I’m 28 weeks pregnant and just so anxious. I’m already with the mental health team (I have ADHD / autism.)
I’m an anxious gallllllll alriggghhhttt.
But I’m not having a very pleasant pregnancy and just feeling totally unsupported from those around me.
This morning I’ve had quite a bit of blood loss (it’s not from my womanhood, but you can use your imaginations of where it’s from) to the point when I stood up from the loo it was dripping on the floor. And in true style I panic, I’m at work, and just sometimes need reassurance or an answer of what to do, as when I get like this I can’t puzzle the pieces together)
I’m pretty confident it’s nothing to do with baby (I’ve checked best I can that there’s no trace of blood coming from my vagina.) will be from other issues that I’ll happily see a GP about.
But what is getting to me, is that I feel so unsupported by my husband and family. They just say “don’t worry it’s not even that bad, just stay at work and it’ll be fine”
That’s right BARBRA I HAVE BLOOD DRIPPING FROM MY ASS IM SURE I CAN NOT WORRY AND JUST SIT IN IT ALL DAY!!!!!!!
Im probably hormonal and over reacting. But for once it would be nice for someone to understand my panic and worries and that actually it’s pretty scary when things like this happen.
Like yeah, it will be fine. But right now it doesn’t feel that way, and I feel dismissed or like “I’m making it up”. Either way I just need to anonymously rant bcos wtf is life

Call 111, that doesn't sound fine 🫣
This BS about just shutting up and getting on with it is NOT ok. Everyone's experience is different and pregnancy is TERRIFYING. Especially for women who have existing neuro diverse or mental health issues. If we have to scream and shout to be heard then so be it! Rather that and feel taken care of and a little less anxious than stay quiet and risk our own health and the health of our babies.
Call Barbara and tell her to F OFF 😜
Sorry things are so unpleasant girlie :( it’s such a hard time
Already let alone dealing with other health issues plus anything mental you had pre pregnancy (fellow adhd anxious here wirh my own string of issues!). I wonder if sometimes those around want to make you feel better by saying not to worry it’s fine etc when really you just need some acknowledgement of your suffering! Defo seek medical help or contact maternity triage if you haven’t already as they defo won’t tell you “don’t worry about it” unless they mean it. And at least you can get support from here even if it’s not the place you’d hope to get your support. Sometimes I ask chat gpt to explain things in a way my partner can understand as I’m too emotional or stressed to explain it myself 😅 stay strong you’ve got this
And it doesn’t help when people say “oh your husband/partner should be more understanding” YES THEY SHOULD but often they aren’t and it’s draining! All you can do is your best and that’s what you’re doing. Hang in there give me a message if you want to talk more ❤️ rooting for you
