So scared of everything- Please help?

Question

Hello, i am 20 years old and 17 weeks pregnant, i have a wonderful partner who is 30 and treats me so well, i have just bought a house and my life if just so perfect. The one things that gets me down is my irrational thoughts about dying. I am convinced that every twinge i get is something serious and the word cancer literally has me in tears. I cry myself to sleep thinking that i might have a life ending disease and how i would cope leaving this perfect life. Its taking over now and it seems to be all i think about, can i just mention i have NEVER felt like this before, i have always been a bit of a worrier but since becoming pregnant its worse than ever. I have been to the doctor who said its my hormones and it will pass, i don't have any other signs of depression that i can think off its just these horrible horrible thoughts and irrational thoughts like i have cancer etc. What do you think is going on guys? is this pregnancy related or am i crazy?

Thanks

Tash

Answer 1

Pregnency depression. many women get it. it'll pass

Answer 2

It sounds like it might be pregnancy depression. It's pretty normal. A lot of women get it. You should let your doctor know how you're feeling. They can help you. Good luck :o)

Answer 3

relax! You are pregnant and your hormones are all messed up right now. If after the baby is born you are still feeling the same way then talk to your doctor again.
