Health anxiety after loss
Has anyone experienced health anxiety after a miscarriage? I had quite a traumatic loss 2 months at 15 weeks. Had to deliver the baby who was alive and well because I was septic.
Recently I have become very very anxious about my health. I’ve been doing numerous blood tests and ultrasounds to check everything is ok and have become a bit obsessed with it. I’m also incredibly anxious that I have some sort of cervical issue (no symptoms nothing is wrong but I am having weird pulsing). I was due my smear/pap smear in May but as I was pregnant I couldn’t get it done. I’m now due it next month but terrified something is wrong and I am really scared to get it done as I am traumatised down there.
Can anyone relate? It’s ruining my life at the moment. I’m in weekly therapy after the loss but I haven’t brought this up in a session (a bit ashamed of it).
