We all can get songs going in the head. Thoughts can bounce around too when anxious.
Anyway we have a trip to Cork(Munster Prov.) next month and I hope you can calm down soon. I'll make sure we bring rainy day cloths as well.
You can if needed take a few ssri's to help when pregnant. Atarax is an old antihistamine with anti anxiety properties that I think also could be taken to reduce anxiety.
