Hello all, my dh and I recently started
ttc and I have a concern. I have anxiety
and I am trying to find out if the
physical symptoms of my anxiety will harm
the baby in anyway? My physical symptoms
are..Heart palpitations and a "shocking",
"startling" feeling thru out my entire
body. Each symptom only lasts a second
when I experience them.
Looking forward to replies!

I too had anxiety and I am 34 weeks
pregnant now. If you have anxiety it is
something to look into see about taking
care of with a doctor. For me it caused
me to have really high blood pressure,
which does cause a problem with pregnant,
and worrying a lot also isn't good for the
baby. Once I cut out some of the many
worries I had in my life I got better and
I was put on blood pressure pills also to
help me out. It isn't good for the baby
but let your doctor know your situation if
you become pregnant and he will take care
of any necessary treatments. Also, having
anxiety can make ttc take a longer period
of time. It ended up taking me 4 years
and when I started getting treated for it
I became pregnant not long afterwards.
Hope that helps! Take care.
