Is anyone on anxiety medication while pregnant? Is everything going okay?
I’m 29 weeks with my third and last baby and I really feel like I need on some anxiety meds. My anxiety is really bad from a traumatic pregnancy with my first child and anytime I go to the doctor or hospital my anxiety goes through the roof. Certain smells even trigger it, such as germx and Palmolive dish soap…it automatically brings memories from the Nicu. The beeping sounds from the non stress test triggers my anxiety because it floods in memories of when I was admitted into the hospital for preterm labor at 18 weeks with my first and was in the hospital until she was born at 26 weeks and I constantly had those nst done every day. Getting my blood pressure taken triggers it too because I was constantly getting it taken while in the hospital around the clock and those memories flood back into my mind. All things I don’t like to remember. I really think I need on anxiety meds but I don’t know if it’s safe to take while pregnant. I get really bad panic attacks going to the doctor and hospital ever since having my first child a 26 weeker preemie. I wasn’t sure if my OB would even prescribe me anything for anxiety while pregnant or if I should just wait until after I have the baby. I’ll have a scheduled c section between 36-37 weeks due to having a classical cut on my uterus with my preemie
