Hi,

As someone who suffers from anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder i urge you to talk to a proffessional about all of this and your worries and concerns. If you dont you will literally drive yourself up the wall. I have been there and its not pleasant.

They say it is not good for the baby when the mother is so anxious. A relaxed and happy mother is what is needed.

Talk to your GP about what is going on with you and tell them everything, dont leave anything out.

I am closely monitored by the phsychology dept at the hospital i am booked into. I am not on medication at the moment but i have been in previous pregnancies. I was extremely highly strung, couldnt sleep proparly, kept checking things, felt nervous all the time, was irritable. It doesnt feel nice i know that so please seek help, dont try to battle it alone. You wont nesessarily have to take medication and they certainly cant force you to take it but they should be able to help you with strategies on how to best deal with the way you are feeling or put you in touch with the people that can help you the most.

Good luck.
