Extreme anxiety in pregnancy, need help please?
Hi Everyone,
I am currently 31 weeks pregnant. The past month has been really crazy for me. I have gestational diabetes, which I can deal with. Last week I had blood in my urine so I went through some tests, I have a large kidney stone in my right kidney. I had a cystocsopy done to look at my bladder, as well. The doctor said my bladder is so compressed from the weight of the baby and was very irritated. I have anxiety disorder and I am not doing so well with my anxiousness. I know that pregnancy causes a lot of extra emotion, but I cry a lot. I freak out over EVERY little thing. I was just at the ER last night b/c I am scared I got an infection from the cystocopy I had done on Thursday. I have to wait for a urine culture to come back which will take a few days. I am already on pins & needles waiting for those results. I am scared I have an infection and there are so few antibiotics that are safe in pregnancy. I am alone a lot as my husband works nights and my family lives about 45 minutes away. All I do is sit & think about everything. I don’t sleep well at night b/c of my anxiety. If anyone out there can share some inspiring stories it would mean a lot. Sorry if this was all over the place….

You need to let go, and trust your doctors. They are not going to let you have an infection for long that will hurt you or the baby. Also, if things are really awful in your body, and they have to take the baby early, it isn’t so early. You have made it 31 weeks. The survival rate for babies born at this stage is very good. But, modern medicine has come so far, that I am sure that they are going to be able to help you out without disturbing your little one. It is ok that you went to the ER. It is natural for you to worry about baby. Just trust the docotrs to do their jobs, and you do your job. Take care of yourself the best that you can, and try to let go of the anxiety. It doesn’t help you or baby.
