I am finding that the closer I come to 30, just over 1 month, the higher my baby fever roses. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have always had a concern about how my body will react to pregnancy, my anxiety in particular. About a month ago I went and spoke with my doctor and discussed my options. I am happy that there are options for women with anxiety who become pregnant. I feel that a weight is off my shoulders now and I can have actually have a baby and most of my fears are just that. Fear. I have an amazing husband and family who will be there for me and help me every step of the way! I am looking forward to seeing what this year brings! Perhaps there will be a little one now that that is possible! YAY!

My anxiety is stopping me conceiving, I haven’t had any tests yet as I’m too worried to be told it won’t ever happen.

Perhaps the worry of the unknown makes it worse? I think going and finding out will help ease the anxiety and take away the wondering. Also, even if you can’t conceive there is always adoption. There are so many kids who desperately need a family

It can sometimes make it better because you have a little one that really needs you and all your thought, time and attention go towards the well being of your child. You have less time to think about yourself.

I am so happy for you! But please, please, please, if u have to take medications, do your own research and follow your most informed decision on it. I have seen very unfavorable results with medication subscribed. Best of luck and baby dust!

My doctor encouraged me to do it for that reason that it would take the focus off myself and my anxiety. Now dealing with MS too it’s on hold again but I’m approaching 30 as well so it’s definitely on my mind too.

My first pregnancy I didn’t have any stressors. I even went to school full time during. This time around has been a bit more stressful. I am trying to find ways to cope with it. Reading is a big one. I Also try to get to Yoga once a week which is a huge relaxor,I’m not sure how your anxiety peaks, but I am sure you could find something to help with it when you are pregnant. 🙂
