The last few nights I’ve been struggling to sleep as I keep waking up in panic attacks, I’ve got a week till I’m induced at 40 weeks but didn’t know if this was normal to just wake up in a panic attack… literally don’t want to sleep 💤

I suffered with this a lot at the beginning of my third trimester. It was really awful and my mental health took a big dive. I did discover though that I had very low iron and once the supplements kicked in, I felt so much better but that could of just been a placebo effect. I was told that pregnancy induced anxiety is much more common than you think and for some reason during the night. I hope it gets better for you and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it! ❤️
Thank you sm just glad to know I’m not the only one! I just feel like even if I’m alright during the day it’s lit as soon as I wake up i can’t breath panicking and all I can think of is the worst or what if im panicking during labour 🤦🏻♀️ hopefully it gets better soon a week feels so long away for this to be happening every time I close my eyes! Thank you again
