I have always had anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I used to smoke weed to help but I quit because I'm pregnant. Now, without that crutch, I am having awful anxiety every day. It is making it hard to function, I'm just so scared for my baby. I know all this stress isn't good for them and I have tried deep breathing, yoga, walking, none of it helps. I just feel this soul deep fear.

You see all these stories on here about stillbirths or late miscarriages. It's hard to not freak out, my boyfriend and I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I was starting to just think I couldn't have babies, and right when I was going to give up, I got my positive. Now all I can do is stress that something is going to go wrong. It makes me want to smoke so bad but I won't take the risk of having my child taken away to get a few moments of comfort.

Please, any mothers who experience this, how do you cope? How do you calm down?
