Panic attack?

Anyone had issues with panic attacks in pregnancy or general? I’m 33 weeks and was out in public today and got overheated and started to feel dizzy like I can’t walk.

I left and sat down but continued to feel that way for several hours. I felt better laying in bed at home but a family member came over with a blood pressure machine and that seemed to trigger me back to feeling badly.

My blood pressure seems good. I had one high reading when it first turned on but all others normal. I am wondering if I had a panic attack and am just stresssed late into pregnancy. I am worried though as I read that panic attacks should subside after an hour. I don’t really feel normal.

I have called my doctor and they aren’t calling me back so I have to make a decision about whether or not to go into the ER even though my only symptom is not feeling right

Hi Bethany, I’ve had this for a couple of days on and off about a week or so ago now, I felt so poorly I went to MAC unit as I noticed that my heart was beating so fast too. They did an ECG which showed I had a fast heart rate and my blood pressure was higher than they liked.

I do suffer with anxiety so I mentioned this and they said they will come back and put me on the monitor to check baby and will re do my heart rate and blood pressure. Once I calmed myself down they were a lot better.however when they read my notes they noticed my iron stores were low and I should have been on iron tablets for nearly 2 months but no one informed me!!! Defo suggest
Them to do your bloods as it could be you lacking in iron. Hope you feel better soon xx

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Anyone who’s had their 2nd baby, when did you go into labour compared to your first?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭
