Anxious/Sensitive

So I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and it's a girl. As I get further along I get nervous about things that could go wrong. They found a blood clot in my head at the beginning of my pregnancy which I'm now taking blood thinners for ultrasounds are coming back normal my headaches are clearing up and things are getting back to normal. However I was in the hospital for a month and a half and my doctor has me on medical leave from work since she thinks my career stressed me out. I'm trying to remain positive but I've been through alot.

Has anyone had any crazy issues with their pregnancy?  And I found that I'm more sensitive and in my feelings alot about little things or nothing sometimes I cry for no reason at all can anyone relate?

I hated being pregnant last time. I felt really unwell from the beginning. At 20wks fainted and sprained my ankle and then at 28wks developed preeclamplsia and became extremely unwell. I couldn't barely shower myself towards the end when my baby was born by csection at 35wks. But worse of all, I worried myself constantly by searching the internet for information, obsessing about 'whatif', and driving my partner crazy. This time I'm high risk again but a lot more stressfree because relaxing and focusing on being calm, eating well and resting is the best thing you can do for you and baby. I know its hard but remember youccan't control everything when there's another person involved, no matter how little they are! All you can do is try to provide the best temporary home possible. Take care!
