Anxiety is a tough one. I have to be on medication for my condition, which DH was concerned about, but it's a low dose so I'm not worried.

They say that if you're depressed and anxious throughout your prg and not medicated, this is actully worse for your bonding with bubs than the drugs!

I think it's a great idea to buy or borrow a book. i did this when preg with Patrick and also bought "Up the Duff" which is hilarious and not as confronting as some of the other books can be. You and DH can read it week by week as well and follow the progress of the baby that way. It helps to get you into the whole thing as you'll find that the author was a bit sceptical herself and it's written like a diary.
