Answer

I have a history of depression and anxiety. I came off my meds when I became pregnant but now I'm starting to feel those feelings again. I have feelings of something being wrong all the time even though everything is perfect. To be fair, you're probably under a lot of stress. I suggest talking to your SO and your doctor to help you treat this. I'm going to do the same very soon.

Answer

I was on anxiety meds for 9 years before we started trying to get pregnant. My anxiety has been thru the roof. My husband has been massaging my back and neck when I feel it starting to come on and also breathing exercises.

Answer

There are several anti anxiety meds that are safe to take while pregnant. Ask your doc! Definitely talk to him soon and feel better!!
