If the anxiety keeps coming back, I really recommend getting some psych help, talk to your OB or midwife, don't just power through. I don't want to make it worse, but cortisol crosses the placenta and can affect baby, so it's really important to get that under control. There are things like breathing techniques, apps like Headspace, sensory regulation methods like holding an ice cube until it melts or using textures and scents to re-regulate, or sometimes getting more movement in helps. But with a panic attack like that with such a high heart rate, it sounds like it could need some medical intervention.
Hi all. It is my last Sunday on maternity leave. Feeling a lot of emotions. Especially since it was her 1st bday yesterday. I was so busy planning for that that I didn’t think about the last Sunday as well. I want to do something to commemorate the year I had at home with my loved baby. We’re both getting ready for the next steps! Did anyone do anything nice on your last Sunday together? And how did you get ready to look forward to work?

I had an abortion this year in may as i couldn't mentally handle another pregnancy but i had complications with it... i had the abortion as i lost my son exactly a year prior, before him i had numerous miscarriages and im honestly terrified im gonna end up losing this one too or wont be able to handle having another baby since losing him too.. ive been testing 3/4x daily since I found out and panicking over the smallest things: twinges, slight cramps, symtpoms changing, not "feeling" pregnant etc and its honestly driving me nuts... anyone got advice to help calm my anxiety down about it??

Hi mamas! Baby is 5 months today… wondering what your typical schedules look like as far as day naps and night routines, wakings, bedtimes, etc. I know every baby is different, just curious how it’s going for everyone else. I deleted social media because I found that was not at all my reality lol, so want to hear from real moms :)
