With DS I was anxious, but did not realise how much until the first hospital appt. As soon as i saw the midwife i burst into tears. She got me an appt with the same counsellor i saw while DD was in NICU. I was then referred to another counsellor who still keeps in touch even though DS is 6 months. It really helped talk out my fears and anxieties throughout the pregnancy. And it helped me deal with the experience I had with DD and my extreme separation anxieties with her.
I wish now that i had been talking to someone before I got pregnat again .
You will find a way to manage those fears if you are pregnant.
Funnily enough I ended up in hospital one day over DD's gestation with similar symptoms and they were almost going to do an emergency c-section under general at 30wks. Well it was not funny really, but luckily it was not necessary and I went on to go in to labour on my due date. But that time in hospital made me realise I would and could cope if that happened due to the wonderful DD I had waiting for me at home.
