How Will I Tolerate Being Pregnant With My Anxiety Problems? Posted: 06-15-05 12:16pm
Hi all. I am very nervous right now
because I am thinking about my future and
having kids. I am in a serious
relationship with my boyfriend but
everytime I think about having children I
feel so nervous inside me. I become
really worried.
I would love to have kids and start a
family of my own but I am just so worried
about the morning sickness and all the
changes that go on not only physically but
the whole life change.
I have anxiety problems and usually wake
up in the mornings with symptoms of
anxiety such as having an upset stomach,
feeling weak, tired, lightheaded, no
energy etc. These are all due to constant
worrying thoughts and with me as I am sure
with many people, one worry comes right
after the other. When you think you have
solved or gotten over a problem or worry,
one new just pops right in.
I am never really sick. The only time I
feel sick is during my period or when I
have a really bad cold or flu. Other than
that I am healthy and dont get sick. I
dont really drink alcohol much also, so I
dont get hangovers when I have had social
drinks the night before.
But when I do feel sick during my periods
for example, it really makes me feel sick
and I can not tolerate it. The crampy
stomach, being tired, moody, no energy
etc. It makes me soooo worried to think
how will I tolerate being pregnant??
Right now I am on my period and I feel
lazy, weak, moody, stomache hurts and
depressed and anxious. My period really
slows me down.
How will I tolerate being pregnant?
**************and another thing I worry
about is: if I have anxiety now....Will my
pregnancy possibly exacerbate my anxiety
into something worse? Like postpartum
depression or something really
bad??***********
i hate my anxiety and am worried it will
affect me and my pregnancy. Has anyone
had any experiences with anxiety and
pregnancy or postpartum depression and
pregnancy?
Please let me know!.....
