for one and all > Perinatal anxiety and depression
Ella, that sounds hard, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. There is no right or wrong in how you’re feeling, you’re feeling it and it’s irrelevant how other people would feel in your situation. That said, can you talk to a counselor/psychologist? They might be able to help you sort through it all. Good luck. Sending peace.

Thankyou AB,
It’s tough. I see women and relatives who are in the first trimester and already buying baby items and telling their children that they are getting a baby… my girls start to talk about the baby and I feel like I’m going to break their hearts when the baby doesn’t come home. This baby is seemingly healthy, I just can’t accept that.

This was my safe space when my baby died 7 years ago. I have since had two children that have saved me. Their pregnancies while hard weren’t near as bad as what I’m experiencing now in my fourth and final pregnancy. I am 17 weeks and from early on realized I was suffering, possibly perinatal psychosis I thought. I spiraled very fast and become suicidal, thinking I will lose another and reliving the trauma, the unimaginable trauma of losing my first child.
Has anyone experienced perinatal anxiety and depression, perinatal psychosis or horrific ptsd in subsequent pregnancies? I am convinced something is wrong and this baby will die, so much so that I’ve wanted to terminate since the beginning to save my sanity. Isn’t that awful of me.
