First Prenatal App Anxiety

Hey ladies! So my entire life, I have had an irrational fear of going to my OB (to the point that when I rarely do go, I have to take some serious sedatives before I go). So obviously that isn't an option from now on with my little peanut on board. Do y'all have any tips to help me suck it up and get through it?

    It really helped having my spouse go with me. So maybe someone can go with you?

    Have you spoken to your doctor about this? That would be my recommendation. Is there a specific reason why you only have anxiety with OBs?

    Would it help if you knew exactly what to expect each time? I know for some that could make it worse but I'm a planner so knowing what to expect relieves anxiety for me. If you think that might help then talk to your OB. I'm sure they would be happy to walk you through the plan.

    I agree taking a friend may help. If that isn't an option Id take something to occupy my time; a small project, book, even a video on your phone.

    Sorry you are dealing with this. I have a great relationship with my OB and so I actually really enjoy the visits. Maybe if you just have an initial visit to just chat without anything medical that could help.
