Hi all.
Firstly, apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section.
I'm hoping someone out there can offer some words of comfort to me at this time. I'm a health anxiety suffered and even after a huge number of private cbt sessions, I struggle to control it.
I'm pregnant. Or at least I think I am. I did 6 tests 10 weeks ago and all were positive. Since then I've met with my gp and midwife.
I've had terrible morning sickness and other symptoms which point to pregnancy. The problem is that I don't believe I'm pregnant. I believe I've got ovarian cancer and that's what's causing all my symptoms. I stupidly googled my symptoms as I couldn't accept I could be pregnant and was presented a wealth of articles about how oc symptoms mimic pregnancy and real life stories of people who went for their scan expecting to see a baby and saw a tumor. Since then, my ha has spiralled.
Tomorrow is my 12 week scan and I am beside myself worrying that they will find cancer on it and not a baby. I can't sleep, can't eat and feel like I'm just waiting to be given a death sentence.
Has anybody experienced anything like this? Can anyone offer any words of wisdom or comfort?
Thanks In advance
