Hello, I realize this forum is for postpartum but can't find any other appropriate forum. I am 12 weeks pregnant on Monday and have been experiencing anxiety about labor since my 7th week. I started off having very irrational and scary thoughts about labor that brought me to the emergency room twice for hyperventilating.

Is anyone experiencing this or did experience this during pregnancy?? I would love to talk to someone who understands: thank you for your support!
