I'm not sure if this is the right place to post so apologies if not but I hope someone will advise anyway!
To cut a long story short, I had a normal pregnancy until around 28 weeks when my blood pressure shot up. Had a horrible time after that in and out of hospital and ended up with an early induction (and normal birth) followed by another week in hospital before they'd let me go home.
DD is a year old now and I still haven't got over it - I can feel my heart pound and my BP shoot up every time I go to the doctors even if it isn't an appointment for me, and am too scared to think about trying for no. 2. I think part of it is that I'm a bit of a control freak, and being out of control and having mine and dd's life in someone else's hands was terrifying. I also work in a hospital and usually make these sorts of decisions about other people so to be on the receiving end (even when I knew people meant well) was very distressing.
Anyway...I think I need some counselling as I can't move on. Has anyone had any and if so what kind, as I know there are different sorts and I don't know which to go for (I am going to pay for it myself rather than let the GP know about it). Thanks x
