[quote=Anonymous]Op, sending you all my best wishes. I have two suggestions which are based on my experience having a child with some disabilities, which is not the same but has some similarities in terms of the emotion and the difficulties of having some of your expectations thrown for a loop/not knowing what the future holds in a more vivid, unavoidable way.

1. This advice is what our pediatrician told me and my husband after my son was born: talk each other about how you’re feeling. He said you will not both deal with things in the same way which is fine, but it’s important to talk about what you are feeling bc the other person will not know otherwise. I think in your case it might help you to explain to your husband that you feel like his calmness is making you feel like he’s judging your emotions. Maybe then he can explain that he isn’t intending to do that but that the “no point in freaking out” stuff he is sharing w you is what he is telling himself to calm down.

2. If you feel like seeing a therapist now would just be an additional task then you don’t have to! But if you would find it helpful if you could skip the research part, we saw Kate Marosek a couple of times when I was having a lot of anxiety during my second pregnancy based on sort of unresolved feelings about my first (w my child with disabilities). She specializes in pregnancy loss and infertility but I found her helpful as these emotions around pregnancy feel related. You could see her alone or w your husband.
