Question by : Short of breath – pregnancy or anxiety?
I lost my virginity on Sunday after about 2am. I’ve been short of breath today, Wednesday. Do you think pregnancy could be causing shortness of breath, or is it more likely anxiety? I have an anxiety disorder, but the shortness of breath isn’t usually this bad. Thanks for any advice.

Question by : Can a mother’s anxiety during pregnancy affect a child after birth?
My 17 year old sister suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. Occasionally, she finds it hard to even leave the house to go to school, and being around lots of people makes her nervous. She had always been shy as a child, but her anxiety didn’t really surface until around the age of 12.

I have heard before that a mother’s disposition during pregnancy could affect a person’s development and growth. My mother never smoked or drank, but she did experience a lot of stress and anxiety during her pregnancy because we were living in Iraq at the time, and the political situation was really bad: the Gulf War had ended not to long before, there was the U.N. embargo which meant that food and medical supplies were rationed, and our family was trying to leave Iraq, which was very to do at the time. Basically, my mum didn’t know what the future held- war or peace, maybe having to leave her family and home country for good. Easy to see why she was stressed. My sister was born during what was easily the most stressful period of my mum’s life. (We did end up leaving Iraq shortly after she was born, btw)
