it happend in may nd since then you have had every period come on time, normal, heavy, same amount of days etc, except the last one was a few days early which is normal. nd you took a test abt 2-3 weeks after the incident, even tho u gt you period expectedly that month (may) nd it came out negative ?
REMEMBER

-ive gotten my 3rd expected period since the incident, and all of them have been normal, same heavy flow, same amount of days, etc
-NO SYMPTOMS of pregnancy,
but i have anxiety so nausea goes along with anxiety

I have an anxiety disorder, which has been pretty mild in the past couple years, that I usually take medication for (only as needed), but opted not to take any meds (very few that are safe) during pregnancy. With my first pregnancy, I didn’t have any anxiety at all!! I was so mellow the whole 9 months. Once he was born though, the letdown of hormones was too much for me and I went back on meds right away. A lot of it is that I fear change. I feel like my husband and son and I have such a nice, normal, happy little family with our routines and now the new baby is going to take a lot of adjusting to. I’m happy to be having her, but I am worried about the anxiety that I know I will have once she’s here. I fear that I will lose the sense of “normalcy” that I have now, and that freaks me out! I have discussed it with my doctor and he has assured me that he will put me back on meds the very day that I deliver (I’m not breastfeeding, so it will be safe), but I’m still feeling a lot of anxiety now. I feel sad in a way, that it will no longer just be me and my son during the days, when my husband is at work. My son (3) and I do a lot together and are very close and I enjoy our time together, so I feel sad that my time alone with him is coming to an end. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had had anxiety about a new baby or feeling sad about time with my son, so I’m hoping that others who have “been there and done that” can give me some advice and encouragement. Like, how did you deal with it? What can I do to keep a sense of normalcy? I would really appreciate all helpful answers, thanks!

My husband and I have recently discovered that I am unexpectedly pregnant and I currently take the prescription xanax for panic attacks and social anxiety. I only take it when I have a bad panic attack, which is maybe once a month. I’m only 5 weeks pregnant.

I am 25 weeks pregnant and feel like my doctor turns a deaf ear to my comments and concerns. She delivered my oldest when she was born and has been my female doctor before and after that. As a gynecologist or an OB for someone without any issues or problems, she is great. But I suffer from fibromyalgia and can’t take any meds to help with that while pregnant. Since I have been pregnant I sleep anywhere from 1-4 hours a night and not all at once due to extreme pain from the fibro. I’m having severe siatic nerve pain in my lower back and can’t seem to do anything without it causing pain. I have started suffering from hot flashes and panic attacks about a month ago and I have a boss who is ticked she hired a pregnant woman without knowing it and is determined to make the last few months of my pregnancy miserable and not be remotely helpful with letting me flex my schedule a bit to allow me to sleep. The docs office tells me to talk to my family doc since things are’t “pregnancy related” but the pregnancy is making the fibro worse. The fam doc won’t do anything about it since I’m pregnant. But the OB tells me to ask them for ambien and vicoden to help with sleeping and pain. WTF?? Those are both class C narcotics! The fam doc thinks she’s nuts. It’s late in the pregnancy to search for another doctor and there aren’t many in my area not in the OB’s practice. I have my next appt Monday and really could use some advice on what to say to her to get her to understand I can’t handle the pain and no sleep and work a full time job and care for my oldest at night while husband is at work. Has anyone else gone through this? Do I ask for them to reduce my hours at work or bedrest?

Please, no rude comments or answers.
FYI – I’m still working because we are a family that needs both incomes. While I would love to be a stay at home mom, I have to have an income or we have no home or car. My husband carries the benefits but we still need my paycheck to get by and as it is, we live paycheck to paycheck. We do not have a large home or expensive cars or “toys” we just need my income to pay bills.

When I turned 40 it was like a chapter of my life was closing. No, it was not about turning 40 years old, but I was happily married with no children. Hubby and I were trying for seven years to have children. All our friends had kids and we were the ones being left behind (so to speak). I was desperate. I was depressed. I just did not feel happy anymore and as you can imagine negative thoughts were driving my life.

This is when my friend Tonya told me about a book she had been reading. The book was written by Lisa Olson and was called “The Pregnancy Miracle”. My friend Tonya is six years younger than I am, but she has been aware of my fertility problems for the longest time. She did not want to end up in the same situation as James and I. Tonya had twins last year and I knew how much in love she was with her 2 daughters. Tonya had told me about the book being under the impression that I actually had tried Lisa Olson’s tips (or program if you want to call it that way). When I told her I had not, she went online and bought me my own copy.

I’m just really stressing out. Pregnancy has been very hard for me. I wouldn’t change the fact that I’m having a baby for anything in the world but it is so hard. I have an anxiety disorder and it is almost impossible to deal with both. I feel as if somethings wrong all of the time, I don’t eat as well as I should even though I’m home all day long. I have my anxiety symptoms and my pregnancy symptoms and when they combine its not a good thing. Its very hard to deal with. I sometimes feel like everthing is falling apart, and I cry all the time. I’m scared I won’t make it til tomorrow, and especially through childbirth. I know you probably think I am crazy but anxiety is very hard and i have it really bad and I just can’t seem to shake it, especially now. I’m 24 weeks pregnant, and I bet it feels like the longest pregnancy in history.. How can I be more happy about this gift? Will i be a bad mother for even having these thoughts and feelings?

I have a severe anxiety disorder. Last June, I got off of Effexor because I was planning to get pregnant. At the end of May, I found out I was pregnant. Anxiety started again….bad!!! Then in June, I found out that I had a blighted ovum and had a D&C. I am afraid that my constant anxiety contributed to my miscarriage. We are planning on TTC again soon. My doctor wants to put me on 10 mg of Lexapro but I am scared of the effect it will have on the pregnancy. But I am also afraid of the effect my anxiety will have on the pregnancy. What should I do?? I want to do what’s best for the baby. Please help!!!

I’m almost 17 weeks pregnant and I’ve been taking zoloft throughout my entire pregnancy and a year before I even got pregnant. My OB wants me to wean myself off of it, but when I do it causes me to have panic attacks, and I get very sick. What should I do? Is is safe to take it?

After pregnancy my wife starting experiencing some mild depression and panic attacks. Her ob-gyn put her on paxil and xanax about 1 month ago. Lately she has been having panic attacks that were more sever than before she started. Last night she was screaming and clutching her head saying she felt like she was having a stroke and her head was going to explode. This lasted about 10 minutes, after which she become very quiet and calm and would not talk or respond to me. Also lately, she has started having some wierd body movements like rocking back and forth while watching tv or furiously tapping her legs. Are these normal for paxil/xanax? which of the two are the more likely culprit, and should she stop taking the medication?
and if she has been on the paxil for a month, whats the safest way to get off it since i hear withdrawl can be a major problem, shes on 5mg
