Freaking out

I have real bad anxiety and im trying not to stress and to calm down but nothing is helping. I have already had three panic attacks today. Im  25wks 3days and I believe im going into pre term labor already. My doctor and I both knew it was possible that's why I had my cerclage put in at 20wks but being prepared or not it still doesn't help. Im just hoping then can stop it so my little angel can bake a little longer!

Cookii my luv, hang in there. You want baby to cook longer and you know that's best. Have your favorite snack, lay back watch your favorite movie and just relax. Mind over matter my dear, you have to control your anxiety the best you can for yourself and babe. Just remember that you have a little one that is depending on you to stay level headed and take it easy. Your almost there!!!!

I like to put my music on and lay in bed and tune out everyone. That's what usually calms me down when I have anxiety attacks. Hope you feel better soon,!!

My doctor has also said its ok to take lukewarm baths to relax just be sure the water is body temp or lower you dont want your temp to rise. Unless your doctor has told you otherwise about baths I know everyones pregnancy is different and has different limits.

Awww hang in there momma take deep breathes. Think positive. My mom always tells me (even though im only 7wks+4) to talk, sing or even read to my baby cuz it puts your mind on them.
