16 AND PREGNANT...AM I SCARED?

I'M 16 Y/O, AND 5 MOS PREGNANT. SINCE I WAS 16 WEEKS I CAN NOT SLEEP ALONE. I KNOW IT SOUNDS WEIRD BUT I CAN'T. I GET IN THE BED WITH MY GRANDMOTHER OR MY COUSIN AND I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THEM. I SLEEP AT THE FOOT OF MY MOM'S BED, BUT I CAN'T SLEEP IN MY ROOM. EVERY TIME I SLEEP OVER MY AUNT'S HOUSE, I 'LL SLEEP IN HER ROOM ON THE FLOOR. WHY???? IS IT THE PREGNANCY OR IS IT ALL IN MY MIND, I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN THE FEELING. THIS IS NOT MY LOG IN, IT'S ACTUALLY MY SISTER'S. PLEASE HELP!!

it sounds like anxiety disorder or maybe a form of PTSD (ppl who aren't veterans can go thru it... you can go thru it just from losing a loved one or having a SERIOUS stressful event in your life)

Go see a doctor and a psychiatrist about it.

Keekee, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother when I was 2 months pregnant and it was very hard. It sounds like you might have an anxiety disorder. This definitely is not healthy. Next time you see your doctor you should mention it to them and see what they think.

Hi. It sounds like you have some anxiety, maybe? Are you afraid of something?  I dont know, I know sometimes my b/f goes into work early in the mornings, and I get him to put my 4 yr old in bed w. me :/   Did it start out of the blue? Im sorry you are going through this. Take care and I hope you feel better soon hon!
