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.

There are lots of resources available on perinatal mood disorders that you could check out - I think it's really common!

I suffer from anxiety but its usually manageable. 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.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

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.
