Anxiety in pregnancy

[SAHF]

I've suffered with anxiety for many years but throughout my pregnancy I've found myself less anxious than ever before. But the past couple of days it's been the opposite and I am feeling overwhelming anxious.... Is this normal in late pregnancy? I don't know if it's just the hormones at this stage or whether it's just my anxiety come back to bite me. It's horrible!

When I fell pregnant my anxiety and panicking attacks tripped. The Dr told me it was just hormones hun and it did eventually settle. Just Tey to keep calm and remember that anxiety is a normal feeling. Have you tried distracting yourself from what is making you anxious... If you know? Make a cuppa, have a bath, read a book ect x x x x

This is the thing, there's nothing specific that's making me anxious, I'm just getting wound up over everything. I think I have too much time to think! Up until now it was all 'we will have this done by Christmas' and now we're passed Christmas and baby is just 13 days away... (if s/he is on time) and now I have nothing but time to think about it. Over-thinking at it's finest. I didn't sleep a wink last night and midwife could tell when I got to my appointment this afternoon.

Doesn't help OH just keeps telling me to stop worrying and panicking. I wouldn't be if I could help it.. lol!

Can u do something to help woth the anxiety? I don't normally suffer with anxiety but I had planned on certain things being done by now and they are not and so I'm now feeling anxious. Tomorrow a list is getting done of what needs to be done before hubby goes back to work.

I think I just need to keep myself busy and occupy myself, so that I don't have time to think. Because I only finished work today, up until this point I'd always had 'something' to do and so my mind wasn't left to concentrate too much on the fact my life is about to drastically change forever! I had a feeling this would happen once I had nothing to do.... OH thinks it's a good excuse for me to scrub the house top to bottom lol not such a bad idea, except I can't get down so it'd be a half arsed attempt with everything within reach being spotless and the floors and everything low down left haha!

I suffer anxiety anyway but towards the end of my pregnant with dd it spiralled out of control. My one regret was that I never spoke about the extent of it at the time to my family and friends. Most of the anxiety disappeared once dd was here as you genuinely just don't have time and your in this bubble of love and amazingness! Talk to people about it tho for defo x
