1st counseling appt post bfp

I'm actually a little nervous. I feel like I have SO much to say and I don't think I can get it in in only one hour.

I'm thinking of bumping (no pun intended) up to 1 time a week instead of every other week. I just feel like I may need it more to help with my anxiety now.  Anyone else go to counseling while pregnant because they are pregnant?

I've been in counseling for almost 4 months, and I'm so glad I'm going while I'm pg.  I've only had one post-BFP appt., but my 2nd is on Weds.  The one appt. alone has already been so helpful.  I swear, counseling is one of the best things I've ever done for myself I just love it.  I plan to continue until at least mid-2nd tri, if not beyond.

Do you go every week?

I have been going since January. I think it is really helping with my grief and anger, now I know I need to focus on not stressing & anxiety.

I was going every week, but I've dropped back to once every other week (I made this change before my BFP).  It sounds very similar to yours - before my BFP, we were working on my anger, grief and obsessive TTC efforts.  Now I think we're shifting to my anxiety, which is definitely necessary.  My therapist told me that she is happy to do whatever schedule I prefer, so if I feel like every other week is too far apart, then we can go back to every week.  I think I'll see how it goes this Weds. and go from there.
