  • Hello Abbii

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns over the past weeks. It's reassuring to hear that the tests your GP requested haven't raised any concerns. 

    You're obviously still feeling quite anxious - which in itself can cause chest pains - so I'd suggest getting back in touch with your GP who will be best placed to help. If you do find that you're feeling quite worried or anxious then you may like to have a look at this NHS website which will give you some tips and information that may help to manage things. 

    I do hope things settle soon. 
    Best wishes,

  • Hi Abbii. if your tests have come back clear, and the fact your worrying what would happen to child might be stressed related that the tests might come back showing any abnormalities. try pain killers for a couple of days.perhaps if you have a friend or family relative, Maybe you could just say if anything in the future happens would they be able to look after your child. that would go some way to ease  any stress if anything happened later in life. wishing you both good health and happiness for the future.
