I have a severe fear of almost everything and I wanted to have a baby for a long time but I can't get over the fear of carrying a baby and the whole process it terrifies me Has anyone here wanted a baby and was so afraid but went for it just looking for some advice not medication or anything please just how you coped with anxiety before during and after pregnancy?

Thanks for sharing your fears. 
The first pregnancy is scary for most women . 
i found the more I knew what was happening and what would happen the more I felt reassured. Knowledge is the key and support and love.

Hello Dear Lisa1987..

Welcome to our forums,

I agree with Quirky, I think that every women is a bit afraid of there first pregnancy…I know I was…that was 47 years ago…A lot of advancements have been made since then towards the safety and health of both mother and baby…

Once I felt my unborn child move around in my belly…it felt so surreal that I was going to be a mum…the fear and anxiety of the unknown stayed with me but added to that was the excitement of meeting my baby…The love you feel when your baby is born..cannot be compared to anything else on this earth…

I went on to have 2 more babies…still had that anxiety and fear…I think all pregnant women have some type of anxiety during pregnancy….and that’s okay sweet Lisa…Maybe reach out to your Dr..and talk your anxiety and fears out with them…and I’m sure that your Dr..will be with you every step in your journey with their care and support….towards motherhood…

Thinking of you with kindness Dear Lisa…

Grandy

Thank-you so much for replying yes it's not really having the baby or anything it just the in between parts and getting to the step of insemination.

It scares the hell out of me I'm sure when the time is right I'll take the leap of faith though
