Anxiety is a normal and common reaction to stress.
When you feel anxious about a presentation at school, a job interview or a tense situation at the office, it often helps you stay focused and be prepared.
In the case of a high-risk pregnancy, however, anxiety stems from being stressed about a really scary situation that you don’t have a lot of control over.
What might have started as being worried about one test result has now turned into feeling anxious about all aspects of your pregnancy all the time.
