@awhitedot not an option or the point.

Just keep reminding yourself you'll be okay. Try to envision everything going right and take deep breaths. Our anxious minds like to go to the worst case scenarios try to stop that line of thinking and replace it with thoughts of just you and him sharing that moment

@SW-User thank you :)
Have you thought about getting a counsellor or psychiatrist or psychologist? If your spouse works you may have some access to one? You seem pretty level headed. You are coping with major life changes and all at once. You could use some professional help. Talk to yor fiance. As much as possible. You need to relieve some stress. Practise relaxation. Eat well. Try to rest. Talk to your obstetrician. Talk to your family and friends. How about your mom or other females? Can you downscale your wedding? It is outside the box but maybe a hypnotist could help for that wedding day. Hope this helps or gives you some ideas. Lean on those who love you. Good luck.

@PoetryNEmotion Thank you for the advice. I went to psychologist but now she's on baby leave. I might need to drive the extra mile to find another one. This is something my family thought I got over bc I have been putting on a strong,brave,successful face for them for the past couple of years. Little do they know , I still get these episodes. I feel a little ashamed of them bc I don't want people to see me this weak. Its like a defense mechanism for me to act strong all the time! I had problem when I was a kid,finally now I am a grown woman and a successful one as well. I have been working so strong to prove everyone wrong...
@Optimisticbird I think you would benefit from another psychologist. Can your old one recommend another one for you. You don't have to be strong all the time. It is strength to ask for help when you need it. Not a weakness. Successful women can get help too. And, as I said, you are coping with many stressors all at the same time. Do what you need to get better and to become more confident and be happy.

This is you winning. Breathe. One breath after another. The people sharing that day love you as you are. Just breathe.
