pregnant and panicking

My husband and I just found out we are pregnant. I am terrified of doctors or medical people in general. I can't get over it to go to the doctor. I have been checked before and started balling and couldn't do it. I am absolutely terrified and don't know what to do. I can't stand the thought of anyone going close to the southern region. I don't know what to do.

Hi

Welcome to the forum good to meet you and I am glad you have found us you will get good support from the members so do keep posting. I can relate to how you are feeling as I don't like going to see doctors either as I get very anxious but I agree with Karen about you really thinking about going to see your doctor as it is important for them to monitor you through your pregnancy can your husband go with you for support?

Hibee

Hey there!
I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby,and I understand how you feel about medical people, as I'm not too fussed about being around them!
But pregnancy is not an illness,it is something to be proud of that your growing a bundle of joy!!
And you say your scared of doctors "going down there" but its not something that happens until your in labour,and at that time you wont care! I promise!
I used to get nervous about it but trust me they have seen it all before!
Plus its natural!
Try and enjoy the fact your growing a tiny miracle, and when you meet your little bundle you will think what the hell was i worrying about!
Take care! xx
If you need any advise or anyone just to talk to Ill try and help the best i can!

I am autistic and have severe phobias. Medical people is my absolute ultimate phobia. Also I was assaulted several times when I was a teenager. I do see a therapist, but I haven't talked about it in 15 years and don't want to. I just can't seem to make myself go. I get so upset that I start shaking, crying, and sometimes throw up or hyperventilate. By my calculation I believe I am about 3 and a half weeks or so. I've taken multiple pregnancy tests and all are positive.
