Anxiety Attack Last Night And Worried Posted: 04-27-04 23:05pm
I have been having major anxiety attacks
lately. Last night the one was about a
small speck of something white on my spoon
that wasn't there after I ate..So i'm
convinced I ate either dried on
dishwashing soap or listeria infested
dried on sour cream. The spoon went
through the dishwasher so it should have
been clean...But i'm worried.
I am also worried about the effects this
anxiety is having on my baby. I have read
it increases the chances of adhd and other
emotional problems in babies if hte mother
has high stress and anxiety. I also read
it's pretty normal to feel anxious during
pregnancy but i'm sure my is
abnormal...Since it makes me cry...I have
never had such attacks before they seem to
be related to pregnancy...Any advice
anyone?

Probably your level of anxiety is normal
for pregnancy, but you know you best also.
Maybe, you could start by not reading
about things that may affect fetuses, as
they produce the anxiety you wish to
prevent. This would probably help the
baby more than any other preventions you
may come across. You can always ask your
doctor about what things to avoid
(hopefully, one who gives time for
talking).
I am naturally a moody person, and
pregnancy up's my moodiness by several
times. It did take awhile to reconize
what was normal for me. Even for a while
after my babies were born, and my one
miscarriage, I would have boughts of
depression, crying, and such. No matter
how I tried to prepare or change it. They
did go away, however.
This does not mean your fears/worries are
not legit, just felt more strongly becuz
of hormones? Talk to ppl (us...), this is
the best medicine.
Most moms develop some protective/fear
thing around something, perhaps yours is
food germs, or cleanliness? Mine is not
knowing where my children are, esp. On
trips/in the car...
Just know you are not alone, litterally
or cybernetically

Thanks for the reply mr..I really
appreciate it. I know some of my fears
are normal but sometimes they get carried
away..Like today I have a sore throat so
i'm convince I have toxo or listeria
especially since the baby's movement's are
not as pronounced as they had been. I
called my dr and they said since i"m only
19 weeks the not feeling the baby all the
time is normal..It probably just changed
positions...As long as I feel something
they said not to worry..So i'm trying..And
talking it out does help. So thanks..I
appreciate your input.
