anxiety help.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to ease anxiety during pregnancy. I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been off my medication for 2 weeks since finding out I was pregnant (I found out late). All my Dr recommended was seeing a therapist, but after suffering anxiety for 15+ years, therapy does nothing for me. I'm trained in meditation and have breathing techniques down, but it's only minimal relief. I tried googling things like lavender or chamomile in tea forms but there are no clear answers.. just advice to steer clear of straight herbs and oils. Any advice would be very welcome.

I have horrible anxiety. I have been horrible this pregnancy. Everything seems to trigger it. I have not found much that helps unfortunately. I sleep it off when I can but with 5 kids it's hard. I diffuse essential oils that seem to help. Lavender, ylang-ylang,etc. I also am a young living consultant and they sell a couple of blends that work well. I have found avoiding caffiene and junk food helps. They have pregnancy tea which is good for you and calms me when i drink it. If you have the money acupuncture and chiropratic adjustments help. message me if you wanna chat about anything. Sorry I don't have better answers. All I've wanted for 8 months is a Xanax or a couple beers and to chill ?

You can do oils in a diffuser, and I believe not all oils are a Nono during pregnancy but recommend for the second and third trimesters. (Lavender and ylang yland are both good after that mark and for what you need help with) I always use a Carrier oil as well. Also I love love tea infused with lavender!!! I make a big pot and throw in dried organic lavender let it seep then strain it.
