Hello there! Pregnant with severe health anxiety !!

[Fred Speed]

Hi everyone,

I'm about 6.5 weeks pregnant.

I was on 100mg sertraline until 2 weeks ago (when I found out) and then I had to stop them abruptly. Had some horrid side effects from the withdrawal but that's over now and I seem okay apart from the anxiety!

I am worried about the following:

1. I will miscarry
2. My pregnancy will be ectopic ( it's not - the doc confirmed this today)
3. I'll have my 12 week scan and there'll be nothing there.

I have even done anther test this morning to make sure I am still pregnant. I am funnily enough!

Anyway I thought it would be a good idea if anyone else who is at a similar stage of pregnancy could get in touch and we could all keep each other on an even keel??

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi there, I'm 13 weeks but just wanted to say I had all those anxieties and then some more. I think they are all completely normal!
Keep in touch x

Hi I'm 18-19 weeks and I've gone through all this - now my current fear is the baby not moving! GOSH constant anxiety and dread, it's awful.

All I can offer is support and I can seriously relate to this scary but beautiful time x

More crappy discharge today with a very small amount of blood - Although I did have to shove tissue up there to get it

Just had a CBT session and she has told me I must stop checking and try and enjoy this time. Easier said than done!

Fred speed, the brown d/c is really really common. Especially in early pregnancy. I had it at 5-6 weeks and then again recently. It's all part of the joys of pregnancy.
