Docs Appointment today...worried **update**

[LucyAnn]

Hiya Ladies,
got a docs appointment today as advised to book by my MW. Got to go to discuss why I have been feeling so anxiuos and scared all the time, MW has advised to ask doc to give me my blood count results etc as could be anemia or if not anxiety problem.

I have suffered a few years with anxiety and panic attacks and these faded about a year ago so im scared these are returning.
Its just with work, a house up sale, trying to purchase a house, our engagement party sat, my OH is still ill with shingles, me trying to overcome insomnia without meds, me getting me head round being preg and the body changes around being preg I am just overwhelmed in general.

just hope they can address the issue whatever it is...

Hope it went well LucyAnn. Ive been a sufferer of anxiety, panic and depression for 9 years on and off and only when I met OH did I dare come off my pills and finally stop worrying and enjoy life fully. Now Im pg, Im just anxious all the time Its awful

Hope it all went well today hun xx

Hope you're feeling better soon too x If it's any consolation, from that list of stuff you described, I'd be stressing out too! It's hard enough trying to get your head around being pregnant without everything else on your plate xx

Thank you all for all your kind words and understanding it once again is lovely to feel the support within the forum.

It all went well i was talking to the Nurse for half an hour and she listened to all my woes even when she said why is the house move stressful as we buying off OH mom and she understood when i was like well thats if our property sells, and if the one OH parents buying goes through and their other house sells etc such a big chain!! so finally she saw my point of view

and work she wanted to sign me off work for a week but i turned it down saying its nice if i need it its there but if i have a week off work i will be even more stressed because whether your sick or on hol your target is still the same each month etc she said ask your boss for a lower target while you not quite on the ball........I WISH lol!!!

but overall an amazing Nurse I was really impressed never seen her before. It is panic attacks she is traeting me for now and has given me acronite a homeopathic pill for the moment and said she has referred me ASAP by fax to someone at the hospital to discuss my panics and then only a consultant may prescribe tablets.

she said because i have suffered anxiety before and only in the last few weeks overcoming insomnia this anxiety and attacks could be whats left behind for the moment.

I feel alot more at peace now and will adopt the theory by Dr Pepper LoL Whats the worst that can happen?!

thanks everyone xxxxxxxxxxx

Glad it went well for you hun, sometimes its great just to talk to someone and for them to understand. I was signed off work all last week with my anxiety. I hate it. I've suffered panic attacks too and they can be so scary. I really hope the meds work for you and that you're feeling a bit better. This pregnancy malarky is so stressful, isn't it!

Hey. Just seen this thread and just wanted to say that I really sympathise with those of you have anxiety and panic attacks as that is exactly what I suffer with too. In fact I seem to be getting worse with my anxiety the closer I get to my due date (I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant) and wonder how on earth I'm going to cope with labour and then looking after my baby if I'm going to be this anxious!

I'm glad that you're feeling better about things now Lucy Ann and I was really interested to read that the nurse you saw has given you some homeopathic medicine - have you tried it yet and if so, is it helping you?

I haven't had panic attacks during pregnancy but the anxiety is terrible. I was on anti-d's but came off them to become pregnant and thought I was coping really well. The doc offered them to me last week but want to try this without them. I'm very up and down. One day I'm grand and the next I'm stressing about anything and everything!! Then whille I'm anxious about something I start to worry about the stress it may cause blump which then makes me more anxious, its a vicious circle My mind is my worst enemy

This week has been a bit better which is great. Having a week off work really seemed to help. I was going to work up to about 38 weeks but decided thats not going to be an option, I want to be relaxed before blump comes along!

You have been having to deal with a lot of things at once, if you ever need a chat pm me, you are never alone!! Hopefully things will get easier over the next few weeks/months for you. How was your engagement party?
