Sleep anxiety

godshelpmetheres2

Alright.  Here's a weird one.  Does anyone else get super high anxiety at night, specifically Around the bump?  I'm 8 weeks, 4 days. The last week or so I've had horrific anxiety surrounding my bump. Feeling like I'm vulnerable at night and like i HAVE to protect the bump.  Sleeping with a pillow in front of me. My partners hand on my tummy so far is the most sure fire way for me to calm down and sleep. I just have this NEED to protect it and if I'm not laying right, i can't sleep.  Anyone else??? Someone explain.  This is my 4th pregnancy, but only one of the previous 3 made it to delivery and he died hours after birth from complications.  Could that be part of this? Thanks from an anxious as heck momma.

I have terrible anxiety too and I’m 11 weeks. My anxiety is driven by intrusive thoughts. This is my second and I went through similar experience with my first. I’m currently taking anxiety meds, and probably going to increase my dosage again to manage my anxiety. I’ve downloaded the free app called MindShift and it has helped!
