This waiting is torture.. I've been having tons of anxiety lately wondering everyday if today is the day. I would have had my first by now but this one seems to be giving me a hard time! 3 days until...
Thank you Scaredy Cat. I really hope my "mom instincts" kick in when it really is time.. It feels like these last weeks/days have seriously been dragging. I really hate waiting because it allows me...
Hello everyone. It's been a month since I've updated and I wish I could say things have gotten better. Nothing really has changed and I'm still on survival mode hanging by a short, thin thread. I...
It's a group of midwives so I see a different one at almost every visit. It's a little complicated. It's hard to connect with just one. Some know about the anxiety and ask me how it's going , but...
I have not tried it because I don't have a regular GP. I have gone to one from time to time but the last time I went was when I was breastfeeding my son and again, I had bad anxiety, he didn't want...
I just came back from my appointment and left crying. They didn't want to help. I saw a psychiatrist via Skype (yeah I didn't expect that either) I let him know how bad my anxiety has been along with...
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. I havent really spoken to him about it. When I went to my appointment last week he asked if they were going to give me any medication, I simply said I don't...
Unfortunately things didn't go as planned at my last appointment. The nurse I saw was not authorized to prescribe any medication unless under a doctors care, which wasn't the case. I felt really...
Well 2 months later here I am still suffering from anxiety. I have an appointment with a psychiatric nurse in less than a week to talk about meds. I refused for a long while to call a psychiatrist...
I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder so I know that plays a huge part but every time I stop worrying about something it's almost like I look for something else to worry about. Most of these...
If I had to be brutally honest I would say I haven't been doing so well. I feel like I am just getting by.. I have anxiety all day and it is worse at night. I feel like I am so close to calling a...
Thanks all! Here's the thing, I really hate meds. I know, I know.. Who doesn't? But I guess you can say the anxiety causes even more anxiety about the side effects, what if it will make things worse...
Thank you. It helps hearing positive stories about healthy pregnancy and meds. My midwife gave the ok if I really need to take meds they will support it. That helped hearing that. I still haven't...
Thank you. I appreciate the encourage words. I do have many "what ifs" throughout the day .. in fact that is probably what my life revolves around the most., not just with the pregnancy but life in...
Thanks guys. I do know what you mean, I already have a son who I love dearly. I had some pretty terrible anxiety with that pregnancy as well but it was more manageable. Not this time around though. I...
Thank you guys so much. I am not seeing a therapist, just a counselor.. I've been interested in CBT therapy but unfortunately the counselor I am currently seeing does not do that. I'm thinking about...
Anyone else pregnant with anxiety? I've been trying to find some friends no luck :( I am 23 weeks pregnant and have been trying to stay med-free with counseling and natural remedies but starting to...
