hi janvi i already had one child but was desperate for another but i was too afraid due to my anxiety and panic attacks. ive had them 5 years now. ive recently had another child who is now 5 months old and it was the best thing i have ever done. when finding out i was pregnant i handled it better than i ever thought i would. when it actually happens you deal with it differently to the way u think u would. hope this makes you feel bit better xxxxxx

hun i did get pas in the night frequently

id wake up hysterical and sweating, sometimes aware of what i was worrying about but nots always. my heart would be racing and breathing was difficult, like an asthma attack.

i have been taking citalopram for 2 months now and although i have other difficulties the medication does enable me to sleep thru the night now. ive had 2 weeks now of unbroken nights.

u are not alone

Hi Janvi,

I only ever really suffer with panic attacks at night. I will go to sleep for about an hour or so and then be woken up with them. I find it really difficult to manage as its not like there is a reason for them happening i.e. like if a panic attack is bought on from being in a crowded place etc.

I feel like i dont want to go to bed because Im scared of having them and Im so tired all the time too. I take propronilol before I go to bed and they do help a bit. In fact i been back to the Drs today because of my anxiety and panic attacks and i have been put on anti-depressents again (3 years after coming off them prior).

Im getting married in October and im so desperate to have a baby after Im married but like you my anxiety/panic is taking over me. I dont worry so much about the pregnancy but all I can think of is the birth itself and how im going to have a heart attack whilst in labour or stop breathing etc. Like you its controlling me so much Im scared out of my brain to get pregnant.

I thought I was the only person to feel like this so Im kind of glad I came across your post.

Hope everything improves for you. Feel free to pm me if you like.

Teresa

Hi
Hi Janvi and others,
Are you on any medication for your panic attacks?
After being on Citalopram for two years (ive been off them 3 months) im starting to feel paniky again. i hope to have a baby one day, but im wondering if I could do 9 months without taking any meds. Citalopram really changed my life for the better fot the two years I was taking it, it completly stopped my anxiety...

hiya teresasavin after reading your post i thought i would put ur mind at rest ive been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for 5 years now they controlled my life i eventually got house bound i had a physciatrist come out on a weekly basis to come and see me.i then started my recovery i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder panic and agraphobia. even now i find it very hard to get in the car and go on holiday i cant travel far i get home sick. i remember lying in bed thinking i would never live a normal life ill never go on holiday again or have another child or work again ive done all 3 now when i found out last yr i was preg i wanted to die i started having distressing thoughts that i was going to die when i went into labour. and i dealt with it all fine even now i look at my 5 month old son and think how did i do it but so glad i did he was the best thing i have ever done as i didnt want my other son to be a lonely child. ull be fine when the time actually comes i was worried bout the birth the hospital and how hot it was going to be in there but i dealt with it and u will too xxxxxx

Evening/night time is when I feel most panicky. I don't even know why :wacko:

I have this...and often it makes me more panicky due to there being no logical reason for me to feel that way, ie im not at work! I woke up got out of bed this morning and the whole room was spinning, SO dizzy and I have put it down to anxiety or panic. I'm off to the doctors this morning and want to have every test under the sun but worrying that they'll think im a hypocondriac! I just want to be sure there isn't anything physically wrong, esp as I was told by the opticians that my eyes are fine!!

Thanks Charmaine, its nice to you that you can have a life after panic attacks. Maybe the joy of having a child might overcome the fear and anxiety, which is what I am hoping but reading your reply has certainly made me think a bit more positive about the experience. All the best to you and your babies.
