morbid/tw: fear of childbirth complications
hi! this is a lot, forewarning, but it’s weighing heavy on my mind and am curious if other moms feel this/felt this going in.
I’m headed in for my induction in a couple days, I’ve had a very difficult pregnancy with loads of complications so my brain feels hardwired to expect the worst. With that, I keep having intense panic attacks about complications resulting in a loss of either my baby or me. I just didn’t think so hard about the most severe outcomes of birth bc I honestly didn’t believe I’d get that far (HG did a number on me) and randomly now that we’re so close & it’s feeling real, I’ve started absolutely spiraling over it.
might just be that I’m a deeply anxious gal who hasn’t been on anxiety meds because of pregnancy & HG, but anyone else feel this? Did anything help quell the worries?
