Anxiety and labor! Advise/help/tips

Amber

I just need some help or tips for when I go into labor with my daughter. I am 30 weeks now.

2 years ago; Before I was pregnant I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and adjustment disorder. Throughout the 2 years I got much better and only suffered slight anxiety.

Ever since I got pregnant I got really bad anxiety again to the point I couldn’t leave my house and I’m VERY ill. I have heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath every now and then and panic episodes almost every single day. 😞

I am currently 30 weeks and I’m getting very anxious about labor.

I just want some tips or anything to help me get through it without panicking and having anxiety attacks as they are very horrible and I can hardly control them 😞

And also if anyone else has experienced or is experiencing anything like I am please tell me how you cope or have coped. And i want to try my hardest to do a natural but I don’t think I can with my problems, would it be better to have and epidural so I can be calm/ish?

(Please no rude comments im a first time mum, and just need some help I am so scared and anxious about everything and what I should do to help myself! ❤️

Thankyou for taking the time to read as well.
