Anxiety during pregnancy

Hi, just to share that I had panic attacks before my pregnancy....before my pregnancy, my attacks are so bad that it happened almost everyday...like depression..... Been in/out hospital many times for that becos of heart palpitations... went to see a psychiatrist in SGH and was prescribed medication for that... stubborn me, tried to overcome without medication.... but things got worse that I cried almost everyday and relied on my hubby v badly...cos I'm afraid of being alone at that time... I'm mummy with 3 kids....For the sake of my family, I feel that I have to take the medicine as I do not want to continue giving negative thoughts to them...... After medication, mood starts to go well..... I'm expecting my No. 4 and I'm still on my panic attacks medication......Doc said it's safe to take during pregnancy...... till now everything was doing well..... and I'm 15 weeks pregnant now....So I feel that as for your symptoms now, for the sake of your family, it's best to seek professional help.... remember that you are not alone.... Hope everything goes well for you.... God bless you.

If there is anyone in your friends and family who is your confidante, do seek them out and talk. else do seek out professional counselling. your health and your babys physical and mental health is the most important right now. both as your right and as your responsibility you need to ensure safety for both. also its easy for the harmonal changes to leave us in doubt and anxiety. do remember that with the challenges will come the biggest joys of your life....the laughter and the absolutely the strongest of bonds.

I really can relate on panic attacks.. sometimes I just break down and cry because I just really feel tired because of nausea, vomiting and this heightened sense of smell that sometimes I dont want to breath. I'm scared/worried that the baby might not be normal or might have an abnormality (God forbid) because I am not able to take prenatal vitamins since I puke all the time and because of stress and depression. Hoping and praying that we could get through this mommies.. God bless us all!

Currently facing the same situation! before I was pregnant I had anxiety and panic attacks. Even going for a therapy sessions with a professional help, or prenatal yoga is not helping at all. afew days ago I had anxiety attack for 4 days straight and I didn't talk to anyone except for my husband , even with my mum husband i ignore him sometimes and probably spend my time alone , reading or drawing or listening that helps me to calm down.

Hi Pregnant Mum... from your message, it seems quite serious. I suggest you seek professional help soonest possible. And please try to take things easy, slow down at work and just relax... take care

Yes, mummy, please seek help soonest possible. You need professional support. I’m sure the support will help you manage this better. Jiayou. Take good care, God bless you and baby.

Hey I understand the don’t wanna do anyth feeling. I forced myself to go for activities n classes to keep my mind away from unhealthy stuff n the siansation. U just gotta do it!! Fighting!!

I would suggest you to think about your baby more. I used to have really bad panic attacks that I can just break down loudly in the mrt. But once I got pregnant it really calmed me down.

Hi, suggest you to seek for professional counsellor/psychologist to help you out. They are the best person to give you advice and overcome your anxiety/depression.
