I cant tell you how to overcome this but i do suffer depression and im on medication. Im only 9 weekd gone but ive already had 3 kids so i can tell you that labour for me is the easiest bit about been pregnant. The 9 months leading up to it are usually hell. Already in the past few weeks ive noticed myself not chatting to my friends as much as normal and a few times a week no curtains get opened in the house etc. But ive never feared labour so i cant advise on this. But i do kno when in other situations when my mind is constantly over thinking things when im ment to be sleeping i usually watch youtube until i cant keep my eyes open. Or i play music. This stops the thinking and adventually my brain relaxes. Hope this can be of some help
I would add there that labour is ok and not to be worrying but im sure your fed up of people telling you that. Xxxxx
Thank you, it just seem every where I look at the moment there are people giving birth and their babies not surviving which is putting me on edge...possibily exhaustion thays making things 10times worse than what it is. I have a drs appt today so see whats said there x
Its very true. There is so much that can go wrong but there is sooo many babies born everyday where nothing goes wrong. It really is a wonderful experience id hate to tink your anxiety may cause it to be so stressful.
