Hi!

I am brand new to these forums, just looking for the right place for me...have had a broad spectrum of issues over the years, my life is in balance now but depression/anxiety issues are creeping back in.

I am 30, married 2.5 years, work full time, have 2 dogs, 2 cats. My husband and I are pretty much ready for kids...I had surgery in August and need to wiat a couple more months.

I have some concerns and am looking for support/encouragement/sympathy/acknowledgement....I don't know.

1. My sex drive is non-existant. I don't know how I am going to get knocked up if I don't find a way to not get anxious about sex (didn't used to be this way, I thought I was insecure about my body and got myself into incredible shpe, still feel insecure....)

2. I have a medical phobia. Ugh. Just can't shake it, it makes me so ashamed of myself - I went to a new OB/GYN and he actually asked if I was molested as a child because I became so nervous....I faint from blood work and always think the bio hazard box is going to dump out on me....totally logical, right?

3. I am scared of post-partum depression - has anyone here ever worked on a plan for dealing with this? I feel like i want to have a "backup plan' just in case I can't cope after giving birth.

Wow, I am a bundle of fun, huh?
