GAD and pregnancy

I’ve had GAD for as long as I can remember. It’s been more intense since I’ve been pregnant because, well, there is more to worry about. Everyone keeps telling me “don’t be anxious because the baby can feel that” and honestly, it makes me feel like shit. I can’t control my anxiety and I get anxious about being anxious now because I don’t want to hurt the baby. But I also can’t just turn off my anxiety because of my pregnancy. Why are people making me feel worse?!

ETA: I lost my first pregnancy at 25 weeks so I’m a nervous wreck this time around. I want a baby more than anything, but just the feeling of being pregnant gives me extreme PTSD. It seems impossible to escape.
