Hi everyone
Some of you may remember that my daughter was stillborn in December 2006 at 38+5wks and I went on to have a miscarriage in July 07. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and terrified.
I have suffered from severe anxiety for years and hormones play a big part in how bad I am. I am so grateful to be pregnant again (I'm 39 and suffer from polycystic ovaries) but just want to sleep to block everything out.
Every day I check hundreds of times to make sure I'm not bleeding, I get a headache and convince myself its high blood pressure etc etc.
Today I've had a headache all day and have just sat taking my pulse convincing myself that I might be going to have a stroke. The more anxious I get the faster my pulse was and it settled at around 80bpm when resting.
What can I do to stop this - its driving me mad.
