   my sister in law actually did. She did great though. she seemed to relax better when she focused on breathing when she was having anxiety problems. There are a few things you can do to releive some of your anxiety. I think the bast for her was to meditate.

   just really try breathing deeply. It helped me a lot.

   and yes it does affect the baby. Abnormal brain activity in the mother equals abnormal brain activity in baby as well. Just try not to worry about it.

   I was diagnosed a long while ago with Bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, adhd, ocd, depression, anxiety etc… My point is this. Mine is well managed and i have no problems. I have already had two children and am having a third now. I am 33 weeks 6 days along. As long as you take care of your self and eat right you will be fine. Take care of yourself you will be fine! Congrats by the way!

   pls don’t worry about worrying your baby. you know what, your baby is going to love you despite being tense, so lay back when thoughts get on top of you and rub your belly and imagine how cosy your baby is in there, and tell it you love it, that your both going to be fine…

   Focus on your breathing. Try your hardest to calm yourself as you do not want your anxiety to effect your pregnancy.
