Yes!! It's driving me crazy but keeping myself busy helps alot

Magnesium glycinate and vitamin B complex. 👍🏻

Thank you!!

Yes, im 5 weeks preg, but so so anxious and on edge all the time. Was taking kalms but apprantly they arent safe for pregnancy😭

@Fran I'm 6+1 I suffered with anxiety for years prior to getting pregnant. And now I feel like it's all come flooding back, hoping after the first trimester it might subside xx

Its horrible isnt it😭 my heart is beating so fast all the time like a mini panic attack. We gotta be strong🤞🏻🤞🏻

Im here for you if you ever need anything. I could do with someone to relate and talk to X

@Fran absolutely! My anxiety also gets triggered when I feel nauseous too so that's great 🙈 but touch wood I'm yet to have a lot of nausea.xx

@Fran thank you lovely, you too xxx

Is cramping normal?? Feel like im gonna start my period its so strange. Been having it quite allot x

@Fran I've had cramping daily and sometimes it's similar to period cramping I think it's because everything is stretching xxx

🖐️ Me too. It's waxed and waned throughout. I've just been relying on CBT to keep me as sane as possible and trying to distract myself with things like cleaning, going out for a walk, reading the odd book, etc. It's so hard though. I worry mine will get worse when he's here tbh but hoping that's just anxiety itself talking. Sending hugs.

@Kim is this your first?

@Zoe it is! ☺️ That's probably adding to the extra anxiety of it all.

@Kim I found once baby is born my anxiety disappeared completely. I've suffered with anxiety with my first and this pregnancy

@Zoe that's really good to hear! Hopefully I'll follow suit 🤞 I did have moderate anxiety before pregnancy but it was mostly managed, kinda went haywire when I conceived so hopefully it's just another pregnancy symptom!

I've been told by my midwife it's very common lol it's driving me crazy lol

@Zoe so glad it's normal. I had my anxiety pre pregnancy under control now I feel like a teenager again 🙈 this is my first also x

@Amber Rose I had it with my first and now this pregnancy, it's so frustrating x
