I only asked it once and nothing in there was offensive.

Ive been having a lot of panic attacks lately. and I was wondering if this was a normal symptom of them. When im having a panic attack my legs or my shoulders get so heavy I feel like I cant move them.And even after the panic attack has subsided I still feel heaviness in them. It feels like there paralyzed. also im 22 weeks pregnant, could this be something i should be concerned about? it goes away after awhile but comes back when im feeling anxious or having a panic attack. i really need some reassurance!

Pregnancy is the most sensitive period for a woman. You carry the responsibility of another life within you. And this in itself is the primary cause of anxiety during pregnancy that is difficult to avoid.

You undergo many inevitable biological and psychological changes, but the eternal anxiety is the undercurrent of all such changes. Headache is one such ‘inevitable’ suffering for her.

Do not think about the physical pain – that is inevitable, and could be of varying degrees- if you are one of the lucky ones, you may go through a very less amount of labor. Instead, think about the reward – your baby, that the apple of your eye that you will be holding in your arms afterwards.

Being pregnant is a great time for most women. They are so excited to be on their way to giving birth to the child of their dreams and they are very happy to have their dreams finally come true. However some women have a hard time dealing with the stress of being pregnant and go through bouts of pregnancy depression during their term.

However there are some that are not so fortunate.
