Hi, Dr. John.

How are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good.

I'm anxious, but I'm doing good other than that.

That would kill me.

So I'm having a hard time relaxing about my husband's vasectomy.

Um,

It hasn't ruined my sex life yet, but if I don't deal with it now, I guess it will down the road.

So, like, every time we have sex, I...

I just freak out and I have to go through all these rituals of like, why would, why we didn't get pregnant and that we're going to be okay.

And when he got his discectomy back saying, or his paperback saying that he had, um, he had a successful discectomy, um, and the bottom, it says one in 2000 will fail.

And I'm convinced that I'm the one in 2000 that it's going to fail on.

So it's, um, it's, yeah, it's pretty nerve wracking.

It's hard to relax and just enjoy being with him because all I can think about is getting pregnant.

The pregnancy was okay.

It was tough.

They're not easy.

I had a C-section.

He was a little early, so it was some complications, but we got through it.

And then about four months into it, everybody talks about postpartum depression, but nobody talked about postpartum anxiety.
