Hi,
I’m easily anxious anyway and have suffered from anxiety and depression in the past. I am nearly 23 weeks now.
Every time I accidentally gently bump into the side of something because I forget I’m wider than I used to be, or something else happens like I turn around when parking with the seatbelt still on tight and it really pulls at my stomach, or when I accidentally touched some vanish stain remover stick when cleaning a stain off an item of clothing one time, etc etc, I find I am panicking I have done something that could harm our baby and it makes things miserable for me for a short while.
In general I’m only anxious about baby more than usual, rather than feeling uncontrollable worry that I used to get for everything. What I would like is to get an idea of whether this is normal, or would it be worth asking to talk to someone? I don’t want to over-medicalise general normal pregnancy worrying, and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. But I also don’t want things to get out of hand and will make sure to see someone if I do feel that’s the case, but it’s only specific to baby at the moment.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
