Anyone else with ocd/anxiety got worse during pregnancy?

Question

I’m 10 weeks4 days  and since almost day one of pregnancy The hormones have made my ocd and anxiety worse. I went straight back into therapy again as I don’t want to send myself back down the never ending rabbit hole but I’m just a bit upset with myself.
Anyone else had this? I know it’s the hormones just feeling frustrated as I’ve been doing really well for years.

Answer

Oh yes. And I’m 33weeks now. I learned to surrender to God hun.

Answer

Yes I’m 31 weeks now and my ocd and anxiety has been so terrible this pregnancy . I have a toddler this pregnancy and we live in the country and he kept getting hookworm and pinworm and so that triggered me bad to the point It was debilitating at times with me obsessing over how to get rid of them and preventing them and my babies health and the non stop mind game it played on me. Eventually I got calmed down by my dr since everyone’s healthy now so it’s calmed down. My ocd is still bad but I’m not as anxious now thankfully. All I can say is try to find ways to cope without meds for now, I’ve learned that caffeine also makes mine worse so I cut that out.
