I'm happy and yet so overwhelmed. It's my first, I have history of depression and anxiety. Hoping I'll be ok, am being looked after by antenatal mental health team. Midwife is chasing up appointment.

Things are tough right now, my husband and I are back and forth to court to try and get access to my stepdaughter, I'm finishing my masters degree and am due to start my 10,000 word dissertation and I have vaginismus and vulvodynia which is pain in the vulva so am worried about the birth! It's only early days yet though. Money is short and a lot of it has gone on solicitors and courts.

Hoping and praying I can get through this

Congrats, Verity81! Just try to follow your doc's instructions.

By the way, I have vulvodynia, too. Have you joined the VP Foundation? They sure help a lot. I take 4 calcium tablets (without Vitamin D) a day and try to watch what I eat. The VP Foundation publishes a book on what foods to avoid.

I chose a doc to do my delivery. Can a midwife give drugs and inject pain killer in the "female" area? That should help with your worries about pain in labor from your diagnoses.

Congratulations and best wishes to you, your new baby and your entire family. I'm so sorry to hear of your vulva pain, I battle it on and off along with itching my doctor things is excema. It's horrible. I hope it goes away for you. I've read story where pregnancy hormones have fixed chronic pain issues for some women. Hopefully this will be the case for you.
