Hello,

I am 22 weeks pregnant with an IVF miracle after so many years of ttc.

It's been a rocky journey, but my anxiety is getting worse each day. I've attended a few emergency appointments (for bleeding, terrible cramps etc) and I'm terrified I am losing the baby. My recent panic was the worst but my midwife never got back to me. I feel I am in a constant state of anxiety but I worry what effect it is having on my little one. My t just says anxiety in pregnancy is expected, but I worry about so many things. When I had my 20 weeks scan I was shaking so much and crying because I was terrified it would show something was wrong.

Even if I get gas pains, I panic it's contractions and I'm terrified each time I use the bathroom incase I am leaking amniotic fluid/blood etc.

How did you guys get through when you were pregnant? What helped?!

Maybe you would be more at ease if you went to an Ob just to be sure that things are okay and then you can continue to use your midwife. Midwives are very knowledgeable and capable but since this is an IVF pregnancy and you are so nervous, maybe an OB visit would be somehow reassuring. Just a thought.
