I haven't taken medication for it in about a year. I definitely worry about handling things after baby is born due to issues that have come up that trigger it - i.e., my younger sister died of a virus at 12 days old (my parents never knew if it came from the hospital or a visitor), and my DH and MIL won't budge on inviting visitors over when the baby is a newborn. Thinking about it makes me hyperventilate. </p> <p>I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. </p> <p>For now I'm controlling it with an extra dose of B6 and going to the gym... I'm just really concerned about it getting out of control after baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anxiety-amp-pregnancy#post-584105 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:28:45 +0000 Crisark 584105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have struggled with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and Major Depression for years. I was put on Zoloft before I got pregnant after being on Lexapro for a long while.<br /> Zoloft has been great during my pregnancy so far. I will probably increase my dosage right before baby comes because I know I will suffer from PPD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anxiety-amp-pregnancy#post-584038 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:12:14 +0000 aprk 584038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have really bad anxiety issues until I got pregnant. I suffered from panic attacks and anxiety at night to the point where I wasn't sleeping or able to relax. It landed me in the hospital, and now I'm on Zoloft. </p> <p>There are lots of resources available on perinatal mood disorders that you could check out - I think it's really common! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anxiety-amp-pregnancy#post-583984 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:02:42 +0000 babycanuck 583984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do any of you bees suffer from anxiety? How did you cope with it pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy?</p> <p>I have it pretty bad, I take cipralex right now and my doctor told me I'd definitely stay on it during pregnancy when we get lucky. I also take B6 if I find my emotions are really out of whack. I used to go to the gym to get rid of stress/anxiety but these days it's not helping. </p>
