Pregnancy related anxiety can be rid off by cognitive therapy and sexual interest and intercorse can be reinforced by sex therapy. So don't worry. Consult a psychiatrist immediately.

Hi
As you said it's an irrational thought.
We need to explore this thought further and understand what are the facts supporting and facts rejecting the idea.
And thereby do cognitive restructuring and get rid of this fear.
Behaviour techniques also help in controlling our anxiety .
Or can be dealt with medications.
Next Steps
consult me for psychotherapy or medications or both
Health Tips
mindfulness helps
