Hi,

I am ten weeks pregnant and suffering from terrible anxiety and panic attacks. Started at week 5, and was getting better until the morning sickness got worse (yesterday I threw up 5 times, despite having tried every anti-sickness medication out there), and now I almost can't take it any more. Yesterday, I was talking about abortion, which I feel terrible about because I have prayed for this baby for three years.

I have other health problems (pacemaker, ulcerative colitis). The pregnancy has the full support of my doctors, but with the sickness I just feel so fragile and terrified this whole thing is going to kill me. I have general anxiety and a fear of death and pregnancy seems to have made this 50 times worse.

If there is anyone out there who can help me get through this, I would appreciate your support. I have spoken to my GP and am on the waiting list for CBT but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out.
