Anxiety, Hormones, and Happiness

Nicole

We had our first ultrasound on Wednesday. I measured at 5 weeks and 6 days but from my last cycle we thought I was 7 weeks. We’re super happy but I am still very nervous. With my already preexisting anxiety seems my hormones are making the anxiety off the charts. Haven’t had my “first prenatal appointment” yet even though they sent me for the ultrasound so went to my primary doctor. The primary doctor gave sent Zoloft for anxiety and an anti depressant. Luckily my husband asked about it before picking the meds up where pharmacist said absolutely do not recommend. I then looked more into and found that it can cause the baby to be born in withdraw among other scary symptoms. Anyone else struggling with anxiety? How do you cope?
