Hey all

[fayeray]

Hi all, My name is Faye, 33, with a three year old boy and 35 weeks pregnant,
Have suffered anxiety, panic attacks and OCD for 18 years, I was always in control of my panic attacks, getting nearer to due date am experiencing frightening panic attacks again and after a bit of support, nice to have people to chat to in similar situation. Hope you are all doing ok today.

Welcome Faye! Hope you find people who have been through similar experiences to you. I'd love to have kids one day although I can imagine that there might be some fear surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. Must be worth it though, right? For the delight of bringing a new life into the world?

Faye, I have replied to you on my thread. Hope we can chat as i too experience health anxiety, panic attacks and OCD. I also have PTSD after my daughters traumatic birth and it has put me off having children for life. I think you are very brave to have another child. I have spoken to alot of people who had first traumatic births and went on to have good straight forward second births. I know its hard to do but try not to panic to much, its not likely to have the same birth as your first. I am put of having more but maybe that will change in a few years time once iv come to terms with it all. Have you managed to come to terms with what happened? x
