Im jesse. i am 8 weeks pregnant, well ive been experiancing some pretty weird symptoms, such as..
*crazy cold chills, or get hot easy.
*feeling kinda spacey or ‘lightheaded, dizzy”
*feeling like im going crazy, and moody swings, i REALLY feel as if i am going crazy…..
*”night sickness’.. like just at night i get wicked cold chills and feel like i have the flu…
* i feel stressed!
* and feeling “slow”..

I have to admit, im some what a hypocondriac, i stress every little thing i can, but i just have been feeling like something is wrong with me for the past 4 months.. i have had one anxiety attack cause i looked my symptoms up on the internet when i got sick with flu one time and thought for sure i had cancer.. and i FREAKED OUT! Now my scare is HIV or AIDS! i am getting checked the 19th..
Ive been with same partner for 8 months, and before him it was 2 months before i had sex with anyone. and my first is the one i am most worried about, that was December 10th, 2009, Would i be feeling more symptoms by now ? I am so worried. I had a uncle pass away by AIDs, and i am so scared…

have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and have been on meds. (lexapro) for a few years now. The meds. seemed to be helping me for a couple of year but I noticed when I first became pregnant with my daughter about 2 years ago that during my 2nd trimester and throughout my pregnancy my anxiety got better. By the end of my first pregnancy my neck tension and panic attacks totally disappeared (and I have anxiety pretty bad). When I was postpartum I noticed within a few days after giving birth my anxiety came back full force and slightly worse than before I had became pregnant.

Shortly after I had my daughter almost 3 months after I had her I became pregnant again with my son. I am recently still recovering from having him only a couple months ago and noticed as soon as I had him that my anxiety came back. When I was in the hospital recovering my anxiety reached its worse and now that its been a couple months later I noticed my neck tension coming back extremely bad and my anxiety has worsened. I went back on my lexapro after having quit it completely when I was pregnant with my son but it seems to not be helping at all…my psychiatrist prescribed me a muscle relaxer and it still doesn’t seem to be helping with my neck tension and even though I’ve uped the dosage of my lexapro my anxiety is still horrible…=(

This is my first pregnancy and I am going on 18 weeks.
My husband and I are really excited. I am a very impatient person so I know this pregnancy is teaching me patience every day! lol

Anyways, there are days where I look at my little growing belly and I am like “Holy crap, I have a baby growing in there!” and that kind of scares me.
I get thinking about all the things to come and I have to do and get a little nervous and anxious.

Anyone else get this from time to time?

Ok, I’m tired of trying to work through anxiety without meds. I really need something. I just wanted to get pregnant very soon, but it’s clear I don’t do well without medication.

Is there ANY antianxiety drug considered safe for use during pregnancy!?

Hello.. I am going to go get a blood test tomorrow for pregnancy.. I have been having pregnancy symptoms but negative urine tests.
I just have a lot of anxiety because I feel if it too is negative, I just wasted my time and should have “listened” to the urine tests.
Anyone have negative pee tests but positive blood???
Thanks for any comments!

The past 2 weeks have been intense for me. These things were all in no way positive. I got used to a life where not much happened and all of a sudden a million things got thrown at me, not good.

I started getting a gag reflex I guess you could call it. I felt sick for a whole week and had sharp pains. During this time I started taking TUMS which I know have a lot of calcium. I think there was a day where I exceeded the 5 maximum per day, and I was constantly chewing them for about 3/4 days and now I stopped.

Is it possible I’m still having stomach pains from the anxiety, or because the tums made me become dependent.

Just wondering.

I have an anxiety disorder. And me and my husband have decided to start trying for a baby. And even though I really do want to have kids, and have always dreamed of having kids, I worry about how I will deal with my anxiety during my pregnancy and after the baby is born. I don’t take any meds right now, and really hope I never have to be put on meds. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for me?
