Hi guys!
I am 27 weeks pregnant and yesterday I noticed the top of my right thigh is numb. I spoke to a doctor yesterday who said its most likely due to my uterus compressing a nerve but of course the brain weasels are out in force telling me it's something sinister. The skin feels really weird, kinda tight when I was walking. Definitely not a blood clot as its not hot/red or swollen. I wish I could just listen to what the doctor said and stop worrying about it.
Added to this, I am worrying about my husband. He's had a sore throat/cough/cold thing on and off for ages and his snoring is really bad. I am worried something is wrong with his throat. He has an under-active thyroid too so I always worry about that. I feel bad cause he suffers with anxiety too and I am projecting my anxiety onto him by always asking him about his symptoms and I need to stop! He has already said he will see the doctor about it but I can't stop thinking about it. I think deep down I know he is ok, but its my fear of losing him (I think that is the root of pretty my all my health anxiety if I am honest!)
Going to revisit some of the techniques I have learned through CBT but its so hard. Pregnancy has really set my health anxiety off again!
Thanks!
