Q: How Will I Tolerate Being Pregnant With My Anxiety Problems?

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!.....
