Contemplating pregnancy, with health anxiety

[CatLady1]

I wanted to post an update: recently found out that I’m pregnant! We were actively trying, but it still happened faster than anticipated.

Still early days, but I am managing my anxiety pretty well. My GP thinks I should be able to stay on Sertraline, which is a huge help, and I may be referred to the local ante-natal mental health service once I’ve seen the midwife. I’m certainly *conscious* of hypothetical risks, both to my own health and baby’s, but it’s not taking over my life. Fingers crossed that everything continues safely and smoothly!

Congratulations!

I recommend joining a parenting forum. They often have threads running for people who will be expecting in the same month as you.
You’re going to be great x
