Questions/concerns
Hello, I am pregnant with my first baby, I'm almost 6 weeks ...this process has been quite a bit more difficult than I expected. I have bad anxiety which doesn't help things at all of course.
I have a couple very big concerns about some things and wanted to see if anyone else has been in the same or similar boat as me. It might be a long shot but I'm desperate. Anyway, a little background. I'm 37, I've had chronic back pain for 19 years (I've tried many things over those years so please don't make suggestions on that) which I manage ok with an herbal medicine which I've cut back on but I absolutely cannot cut back anymore or I won't be able to work and I need to work as money is very tight. So there's a concern there having to continue that and also I've been on quite a heavy regimen at bedtime for sleep and of course everything I was taking it says not safe. I was taking 1 delta 8 gummie, half a delta 9, as well as magnesium pills (2) and magnesium gummies (2.5) just to get a decent night and even then sometimes wasn't enough....
I have cut back on those things as much as I can and needless to say I'm extremely exhausted to the point where I feel like I could pass out. I've been burnt out for years prior to getting pregnant and never have been able to make up that lost time and every night I go without anything to help me at night feels like it will be a really big problem very soon. I don't have a much of an appetite, I'm losing weight still. And frequently feel very weak/very little energy.
I did not have a regular primary care Dr before this and I haven't been able to find an ob to get me in any sooner than Aug 3rd. I'd really appreciate some guidance. I'm an extreme worry wart and I'm at my wits end, could have a nervous breakdown any day and really need help. Please be kind. TIA.
