[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had very high anxiety during my entire pregnancy. I think among the billion things I constantly googled during my pregnancy "affect of stress/anxiety on fetus" must have been in the top ten. My baby was born full term, healthy, and is the happiest, sweetest little girl. She does have a moderately anxious personality, but obviously so do I. It doesn't inhibit her ability to have fun or make friends, though.

I think in retrospect, a lot of my anxiety was due to isolation and not have anyone who I could usefully discuss my anxiety with. My husband's father was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer when I was pregnant, and I was afraid to burden him with anything else. My mom and sister were a source of anxiety, not people I could confide in. And I just didn't have friends at the time who would have been able to listen to me.

I saw a therapist after I gave birth for PPD and I think I would have really benefitted from seeing one while pregnant, too.[/quote]

did you have any fears about something going wrong during childbirth? Thank you for sharing this with me. its really helpful[/quote]
