I was so scared when I started feeling angry and upset a lot during my pregnancy. I was overly worried I'd loose my other kids and health professionals would think I couldn't cope because of these unwanted feelings. My Midwife asked how I was, she was easy going and so nice. I started to try to explain and she reassured me so much that I told her exactly how I felt, she was incredibly understanding and a weight just lifted, I didn't feel alone anymore. I even accepted to be referred to the mental health team that deals with pregnancy without anxiety about it attached and before I would never admit I was struggling but I am so thankful I did and it was all thanks to my outstanding Midwife. Now I have the support I need and not at all invasive or judgmental like I imagined.
