Anxiety Ridden

I’ve felt this too. It’s so hard. I’m 13 weeks with #2 after 2 miscarriages. It’s a lot to deal with and we really have no control over anything. I have to remind myself frequently that symptoms come and go. It’s ok to have a “good day” where you don’t feel sick. And it’s normal for symptoms to subside and “disappear.” (Mine are getting soooo much better and I start to freak out.) I did it with my first, too, because I had a miscarriage before her. And it didn’t stop. Still had postpartum anxiety and it’s awful.

It really is worth it to talk to a therapist or doctor about the anxiety early so it doesn’t get to a bad place or last beyond birth. I finally got support and while I’m still a bit anxious with #2, it is much more manageable. Hang in there. You’re not alone.
