Hey I'm 18yo and 27 wks with my first child.
I have paranoia through the roof and have no idea what to do about it.
I've become scared of being in the car incase we have an accident even tho I know my partner is a safe driver, scared that my baby boys going to have problems and pass away or something's going to go horribly wrong even tho my Doc has never given me a reason too think that.
Also I'm so scared my parter is going to leave me or cheat on me even tho he has never given me a reason to think that and he leaves me with his fone and passwords all the time (even tho I've never looked)
I'm freaking out about my appearance, balling my eyes out allot of the time.
I don't know what to do.
I know how stupid I sound and that I'm over thinking but I can't stop.
So I guess my questions are How do I control my fears of Cars?
How do I stop stressing over everything ???
Going crazy !!
Thank you in advance
Re: Help, new fears, hormones etc
Some amount of fear and anxiety in pregnancy is normal, but if you feel like your fears are unreasonable, unmanageable on your own, or having a negative effect on your life, I would talk to someone about it.
As PP have stated, look in to getting professional help. A good therapist can be so much better than any medication. They'll be able to provide you with coping mechanisms if you feel like your slipping into an anxiety spiral.
