help people with an anxiety disorder!!!

[nickizzy]

Hi I have panic disorder and bipolar and am 35 weeks, and I've noticed my anxiety is getting worse. Has anyone else experienced this in last trimester?? I'll be seeing my midwife and mental health nurse on Thursday but  just wondering could it be pregnancy related or maybe it's just my disorders in general. Any answers appreciated

It could be pregnancy related because I am diagnosed with depression, bi polor, and anxiety disorder, my anxiety has been going through the roof lately I am 23 weeks. It seems it gets worse and worse every day

I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder a few months before i got pregnant even though ive had it for a long time..but once I found out i was expecting it all went away_ im told that after i have her im mote prone to getting the "baby blues" but if i choose to breastfeed (which i am) its known to alliviate anxiety and depression..suprisingly Im not worried about it one bit :)

Thanks ladies it's so hard fighting through a constant state of anxiety to try get excited. I just keep telling myself 35 days left lol hopefully that will help

I have panic disorder also & even though this is my 4th baby my anxiety has gone through the roof these past couple weeks (I'm 38 weeks)! I know everything will be fine with labor but my anxiety is not letting me think that way! I think it's really everything going on with your body on top of labor coming soon & the life change that's coming...all of it together I think is enough to give anybody anxiety. Good luck though!

Maybe the thought of being pregnant and having a baby...the pain of labor...that may have contributed to ur anxiety. Try yoga or meditation, it might help u relax and calm down a little bit. ♡
