Question by : panik attacks in early pregnancy or depresion?
Hi, me and my partner tried for a baby for 2 years.after fertility treatment we had a little boy.he is 7 months old and 2 weeks ago i found out i was pregnant. i was over the moon. so excited and so is he.during the night i have started to feel is this the right thing for me? to have another baby so soon. but during the day them thoulghts never crossed my mind.

today i went to the midwife and she said i was 6 weeks pregnant and that i was never told with my son that i had pre eclampsia. this was a shock. this evening when lay in bed i was thinking i wish this pregnancy could have happed in a few more months because of the very short age gap between the 2. and i started to get scared. i woke up 1 hour later having a really bad panic attack. iv never had one before. is it the hormones? or am i getting early pregnancy depresion. im to worried now to go back to sleep incase i have another attack.
btw i never used pretoection with my husband because i was told i could not conceive naturally. so im very shocked that i can now

Hi there,
You really need to stop stressing! I know its hard but perhaps the dr can give you something calming and soothing during pregnancy. Especially because stress is the biggest cause for miscarriage. I kept thinking the same things and getting depressed around 5-6 weeks with my first. I am 9 weeks now and very happy and not stressing at all.Everyone just takes things in different ways. Its going to be fine and yes its a small age gap between kids but as long as your not breastfeeding at the moment its fine. They say not to breast feed when your pregnant because all your nutrients for the developing baby goes to your toddler.

Congrats and good luck
