Ladies with anxiety disorders: Did your anxiety get worse while you were pregnant?

Question

Answer

In the beginning yes, around the beginning of week 13 it started to ease a little

Answer

So far yes.. I don’t ever want to leave the house

Answer

Yes. Before I got pregnant, I was a little more relaxed on my coping skills. I had to hardcore pick them up again because it was getting out of hand.

Answer

In the beginning yes! But I literally have to tell myself and pray everyday. It’s gotten sooo much better knowing that it’s all in God’s hands.. I’m also almost 24 weeks and I go to the dr often being high risk so that eases my mind a lot

Answer

I’m almost 10 weeks and my anxiety is sooooo bad. I don’t even want to leave the house. I feel like I constantly am having panic attacks for no reason :(:(:(

Answer

Yes definitely up until about 25 weeks, especially after miscarrying at 12 weeks. Each week without blood and appointment was a milestone! I was anxious about no baby at 8 weeks, no heartbeat at 12, anatomy issues at 20, and preterm labor up until 25. 
As I felt her kick more, and knew she was okay I started to find some relief. I’m now going to be 30 weeks tomorrow and just cannot wait to have her safe and healthy in my arms!
I was also on anxiety meds for 3-4 years before I got pregnant and came off when we started trying again after the mc. 
There’s not a lot people can tell you to make you feel better, especially if they haven’t been through the same circumstances, but I did always turn to this app for support if I needed it. 
We’re all here for you! And just know there’s so many of us going through the same ♥️

Answer

With my first that ended in miscarriage my anxiety diminished. I felt so at peace and so much love and happiness. 
I'm now 3 weeks 2 days with my second pregnancy and hoping I am calm again through this one.. a little anxious due to the previous loss but trying to be positive

Answer

Yes! I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I almost feel as anxious as when I had PND with my first! When I’m in bed at night I keep replaying horrible things over and over in my head  that might happen to my little lad and it’s making me feel like crap :(
I know it’s the pregnancy that’s causing it because I’ve been doing really well for the last year. The thoughts going through my head are so irrational but when I get them I start getting panicky, sick and my heart starts beating out of my chest

Answer

I'm 23 weeks and I feel like I'm going crazy. I almost can't function because it's so bad. I'm scared to go on meds too...
