Hi don't know if I'm on the right forums really as my anxiety is in pregnancy.
Just wanted abit of advise as it's frustrating really hv came to visit the other day and diagnosed me with low anxiety but I need help I keep worrying that I haven't done things like lock the door or turn me straighteners of, constantly checking things and getting really snappy at my partner luckily I havent snapped at my toddler. The main one I'd that I feel tired n warn out all the time, could really do with some advice from someone that's had the same issue xx

it's probably good to be a little bit anxious because that way you are ensuring your baby's safety as they grow up It is natural to want to protect your family.

Hi, Bump.
Are you pregnant again? If so, how many weeks?
Or are you afraid to become pregnant because of your toddler?
I'm a midwife and mother of four, and toddlers are very exhausting, even if you're not pregnant.
Keeping a toddler safe is a never-ending job because you don't know what they're going to do next. They have the attention span of a can of baked beans and they're always in a temper about something.
It sounds to me like you're doing a great job.
If you're pregnant again and there's anything you'd like to assk me, please do.
love Tess

I had the same anxiety when I was pregnant with my second, I had a stressful pregnancy, baby was really lazy and I nearly went into labour at 22 and 28 weeks, managed to keep him cooking until 37 weeks, but I used to stress out all the time with one thing and another, I had a 3 year old to and was working, it was hard going, being a mum and a wife is hard enough and then when you add another one sucking the life out of you lol it becomes and almost impossible task, you are sooooo exhausted its unreal, men just don't understand the changes our body go through and how hormonal pregnancy makes us, can be fine one minute then angry, sad or frustrated the next it's all normal! Don't let anyone spoil your pregnancy your doing a fab job x
