Anxiety attacks?

Question

I do suffer from ptsd, anxiety, and insomnia. I have been lucky enough to not have too many anxiety attacks but at this moment I am currently having one. I'm 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Should I call the doctor or wait it out? Please any advice would help. No I stopped taking medication well before TTC because I do not want to expose my child to any form of drugs.

Answer

Check your insurance to see if the have a mental health crisis line! You can talk to someone that will be able to help guide you through what you are feeling. Call your SO or any family that might be able to just be on the phone with you until you slow your breathing! I find when I'm having attacks, calling my SO or my mother and asking them to just talk to me helps me though it.

Answer

Also, if I get all worked up and stressed I take Benadryl to help settle me down, and it's OK to take while pregnant.

Answer

Anxiety sucks but it always passes, you have to just distract yourself best you can, or talk it out with someone.
