Throughout my first pregnancy I was the most anxious person you can imagine. I have really bad medical anxiety from an undiagnosed illness and every midwife appointment would have me in a panic attack. Sweating, shaking, going to the toilet constantly. I was racked with guilt worrying about what it was doing to my baby everyday, googling the effects of cortisol, stress etc. I was convinced there was no way this baby was going to come out normal. Let me tell you that he is currently a thriving, happy almost 3 year old. No development delays or any issues. He had very bad colic for the first year of life but I can’t say that was from anxiety. Have faith in your body, that’s what I say to myself x
Sometimes you may not know until the baby is older tbh
I was highly anxious throughout my entire pregnancy and my little one is totally fine. It’s so normal to feel that way, especially if you have anxiety anyway. Sending positive vibes🥰
