Hi
I found out a week or so ago that i am pregnant (only about 5 weeks but still pregnant). This will be my third and we did plan it so i am thrilled to be pregnant. I know I need to make an appointment with my doctor to confirm it and get in the midwifes list BUT I just cant pick up the phone to make the call :weep:
I had a major panic attack last time I was there and even the thought of going starts me off now.
My blood pressure is always high at the doctors, I have no idea if it is normally but I suspect it is at least a little on the high side normaly, although its is probably loads worse when taken at the doctors!
anyway I had preeclampsia with my last pregnancy whcih ended up with my in hosptial drips etc etc it was after that that the panic attacks really got out of control and one of the main reasons was worryin abotu my blood pressure! I was on medication to keep my blood pressure and even taking the medication gave me panic attacks!.
I dont really know what i am trying to say i am just really scared about going to the doctors, when you add the fact that I have had three miscarraiges and so i am worried about the outcome of the pregnancy as well, i just feel like a wreck. I know i just need to pick up the phone and go . I just cant :weep:
I am hoping my friend will come with me but in past experience this doesnt really seem to help much.
