Terrified of something going wrong
Since finding out at 16 weeks this might be a girl (not yet confirmed with the 20 week scan), my anxiety has been so bad. It’s like I can’t give myself a break. I keep thinking the worst, that i’ll Have a late miscarriage or stillborn, or the baby will be poorly. I already suffer from anxiety (mainly around health) but it felt under control until recently. Now all of these awful thoughts keep coming into my head.
I feel angry at myself as I should be happy but I just feel like being happy and enjoying it will jinx it and I daren’t let myself be. I keep worrying about them saying boy at the 20 week scan too. All the signs point to a girl though, 2 girl sneak peek results, girlyish nub at 12 weeks, a gender scan. Why can’t I just relax?! Anyone else feel this way?
