Anyone with anxiety?

Question

This is my 2nd pregnancy & im feeling like it's hard for me to sometimes catch my breath. Almost like my heart starts getting racy & I feel like it's hard to breathe. I've had some anxiety issues in the past & I feel like maybe it's coming back? Or could this be normal for having twins. I'm 14 weeks.

Answer

I began having major anxiety and panic attacks around 20 weeks. I really tried to deal with it on my own and I teuly felt out of control. After talking with my doctor he told me that anxiety is quite common in pregnancy, especially twin pregnancy because of the extra hormones. After talking with him, a therapist and my maternal fetal specialist I decided to go on medication. I was so scared but I will tell you it was the best decision I could have made my my health. My babies are doing great, no complications and life has definitely improved and I can function and be a good mom to all my kids.
People who have never experienced true anxiety will always give you their opinion but talk to your doctor and do what is best for you and your health.

Answer

Being on medication has literally saved my life ! I know others may differ from the beliefs on the topic but that's just because it's something they haven't experienced themselves . It's just horrible . It's not like we wake up wanting anxiety or even depression control us to where we depend on a pill for the rest of our lives . It literally happens and in some cases is genetic , I mean , we got to do what we got to do for our health too ! I would definitely consider talking to your doctor . Anxiety literally sucks :/

Answer

I was experiencing that without anxiety. Turns out I was anemic and had low potassium. Once I started taking iron pills I felt much better.

Answer

I suffer from major anxiety/depression. They started me on meds right before I got pregnant and I have to currently take them. I'm 22 weeks and I haven't had any issues. It definitely helps. I was a nervous wreck when I was pregnant with my first and this time I'm just so much more calm.

Answer

I've suffered from anxiety but not much at all during pregnancy..try meditation and learn what triggers your anxiety..lack of sleep ect

Answer

18 weeks with twins and my anxiety is literally ruining and controlling my life right now
Talking to my doctor about it when I go for my appointment on the 23rd

Answer

Probably both. Your blood volume is up like 50%. I have anxiety and it's hard to tell what's anxiety and what's normal (twin) pregnancy symptoms. Talk to your doctor. I find resting often and staying hydrated helps.
