Has your anxiety increased with pregnancy?

Question

Hey all! Just curious if anxiety has increased with pregnancy. I’m still doing everything I can to stay off of medication but there are some days I cannot even go to sleep I’m so anxious. I hate it. I’ve discussed with doctor and she is okay with acupuncture or meds if I want. Any advice?

Answer

Oh I feel for you. I was too anxious to even try to get off my meds during pregnancy. I stayed on Zoloft at the recommendation of my psychologist, RE and OB.
If you need to go that route, it’s not a failure on your part!! You must take care of yourself. I grappled with this for a while and even started weaning off my meds a few months ago but then the racing heart came back and i was like, nope never mind.

Answer

Do what you need to do. I take unisom on occasion to help me sleep, and I take three different meds for acid reflux, so do whatever it takes to manage that anxiety. It’s a medical condition just like reflux or anything else. Hugs.
