TTC and Anxiety?

Question

My hubby and I are ready to be parents but I have an anxiety and panic disorder. I struggle every day but haven't ever let it stop me. I've been working with my doctors to ensure a healthy pregnancy but am still incredibly anxious about being pregnant. Anyone else in the same boat?

Answer

I have generalized anxiety and have had it my whole life. It was much worse when I was younger but I still get attacks once in awhile. With my first, my anxiety completely disappeared throughout the whole pregnancy. It was wonderful. Now, I'm 29 weeks with baby #2 and my anxiety is at an all time high. We take it day by day and I try to stay occupied and keep myself busy with our 8 month old. It's definitely tough, but I'll be going to my doctors this week to see if they have any exercises or tips to deal with it. I know someone on here mentioned therapy helping them with their anxiety during pregnancy.
