My anxiety is so bad right now. I don't know if it is because I'm still in the initial shock of being pregnant (yay!) because reality is setting in and I'm scared! This is our third baby but it's just as scary this third time around. I know palpitations in your heart are common in the first trimester due to the increased blood volume, but I have an arrhythmia.. which causes my anxiety when my heart skips. And my heart has been skipping around and pounding like crazy lately. I know it will feel better soon, they say after about 9-10 weeks it subsides. But I'm still having a lot of panic attacks, so much where I just have to lay down and I get sooo nervous. Does anyone else experience this? What do you do to alleviate the stress and calm down? I feel so defeated :(
@maandiii, I know the feeling i find that im more anxious this being my third then my last two. My husband has been in and out of the state for most of my pregnancy due to work so this last trimester has been extra anxious. All i do is keep reminding myself that everything will be okay. i pray to be calm and im not much of a religious person but it has helped.
same here! my husband is home but he is not much help. he just doesn't understand the feelings I go through. I have to physically and mentally tell myself that everything is going to be ok and that God has a plan. thinking about the higher power makes me feel a lot better. I could stand to increase my faith more. I pray and I talk to God but I don't go to church, I feel like I should in order to strengthen that relationship. thanks for relating with me @mz_jdl_119
