Pregnancy Anxiety during 22 weeks [ca]

Pregnancy

I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I have gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. This has led to additional screening like fetal echo and placental scan. My problem is all the anxiety that comes with these scans. I did my anatomy during my 18th week and they called me for a follow up as they couldn’t see my baby’s heart and face. That was weeks ago (almost 2 weeks), I haven’t heard back from my OB yet. Every day we have to wait is killing me. My overthinking and anxiety gets the better of me. This has been an overwhelming experience and I am just scared of everything, every scan and every appointment. My husband has been a great support but I just don’t think I am getting better. Anybody on the same boat or know any support groups that help with this phase?
