What did you do. Would your doctor prescribe antidepresants? I can’t deal with this anymore. I was so excited about the baby the whole pregnancy and now I don’t even feel like I want to have the baby anymore and it scares me! I have no appitite and I am having panic attacks. I’m going to the docter on Wednesday, I’m just wondering what he can do for me. It feels hopeless!

im nearly 18 weeks pregnant. i went for a check up last week and everythings fine, blood pressures perfect. but for the last few weeks iv been getting palpitations quite badly. their not constantly there, but they are quite regular. i do suffer from an anxiety disorder any way, so im wondering if this could be something to do with it?

Just wondering.

i had a scan yesterday to see if i was pregnant, as I’m over 3mths missed period..I have every symptom you could have for pregnancy, had sickness for the first 8 weeks now nothing, but got everything else, i also keep getting a really swollen stomach, like i look 5months… I’,m not pregnant, but she never told me anything she wouldn’t she said i had to ring the doc for today to get results but i rung and the doc ain’t even looked yet, grrr its coming on 4mths not knowing so you can understand my anxiety to find out…any1 got or had this??
I am 25 with two children…..

Im 29 weeks pregnant and keep having these horrible panic attacks. Anyone else pregnant and having panic attacks! This can’t be normal…

Not much else to add the question is clear. I keep having them on and off. Just wonder if anyone else during pregnancy is having them. Is it hormones? is it something else? How did you deal? Thanks.

I was diagnosed with graves disease (hyperthyroidism) about a year ago, they tried giving me anti thyroid drugs (methimazole & PTU) but my white blood cell count dropped and i ended up hospitalized because i was so sick and the drs were concerned id go into thyroid storm. But before i was diagnosed i had a baby about 7months before and after having her i started fainting in the shower or if i walked around, even just standing up would do it. So after they tried the anti thyroid drugs, i ended up moving and had a new dr who said i was fine. Shortly there after my husband and i conceived accidentally…. So after i found out i was pregnant i started feeling better but only on 900mg/day of Inderal (propanalol) and that controlled it for the pregnancy, i had her a few weeks ago and feel AWFUL again, my hormones are insane, im an emotional wreck, anti depressants and anxiety meds arent helping, im on ativan to lower my heart rate because its up to 160/bpm resting, but the inderol and ativan just arent helping that much now, the endo wants to do surgery or Radioactive iodine but then i was told i will have more problems being overweight, and at risk for alot of other things, right now im anemic and have low calicum. Has anyone had a similar thing happen? if so what happened when you got treatment since i cant use the meds.

We were trying, so this is a good thing. I am extremely excited, but for some reason I am also experiencing some anxiety about it. This is our second too, so I know the routine. (I LOVED my pregnancy too!) At least my doctor has already told me that this won’t hurt the baby, but it is interfering in my life. Any suggestions? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!

Did any of you guys have anxiety before pregnancy that seemed to stay the same after you got pregnant? If so,how did you handle it? I need ideas hear,I have severe anxiety disorder and have no idea how to control it other than telling myself to calm down a lot,any ideas would be appreciated
I really need answers on this,I really want to know what everyone’s done during pregnancy to help with anxiety disorder.

I’m 14 (female) and I just went to a ped. gi doc on tuesday, and he checked me out and is running a few blood/stool tests (still no results) on me and said I probably just had ibs and there was no treatment, besides what I am already getting.

My symptoms are:
*Severe nausea/loss of appetite
*Abdominal pain (severe) only relived sometimes for a short time after a bowel movement, otherwise constant.
*Bloating/pressure in upper stomach after eating
*Night fevers/shakiness which causes fatigue
*No period for a year
*Over 20lb weight loss in about 2 months or less (currently 5’8″ and 95lbs and was 5’8″ and 120lbs)
