HI
Well come to HCM
This is psychological condition, not good for pregnant woman, better to stop this, control your impulses for this, try to avoid this, try to forget this, you can only do this, I wont advise you any medicines, because you are going to have a baby soon, try to avoid such thought, and you can do this, take care, have a nice day.
