Pregnancy and anxiety

[Adri0515]

I would really like to know if anyone here was dealing with anxiety while being pregnant and how did you deal with it, I'm also really scared of it getting worse after my baby's born. I dealt with anxiety before my pregnancy and I was able to over come it but it just seems like it's coming back and I'm worried that it might affect my baby.

Hi I'm currently trying for baby no 2 I didn't have anxiety the first time. What's helped me get to the point where I feel ready was having counselling. This should be available to you especially with pregnancy you will be a priority. Is this your first baby? I found my anxiety started after my first baby due to having to adjust, new responsibilities and just trying to get everything right but not having a clue! It's important to have some support in place now before your baby arrives as it is hard work. Try and look at the positives each day and what you are looking forward to it's easy to get stuck in the worry zone. Good luck x
