Hi Meggles, congratulations on your pregnancy.

I suffered with Antenatal Depression and Anxiety and was a bit of a mess during the first trimester. I was lucky enough to see a great psychologist but it took a lot of work to start to feel positive about the pregnancy and impending motherhood. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, unfortunately anxiety is experienced by so many people, but there is help.

Besides seeing the psychologist, perhaps you could talk to someone over the phone? The Post and Antenatal Depression Association (PANDA) has some good resources - just google them and you'll find them. You WILL get better, you're doing all the right things to move forward. Anxiety is a b!tch! But I can say that, for me, it's not a life sentence, and I'm doing much better since my counseling during the pregnancy.

Good luck hun.
