    Hi Amz,
    Firtst of all congratulations! Being pregnant is fantastic! Of course its scary and the first twelve weeks are very hard work. I felt dizzy and extremely tired all of the time. This passes and the middle trimester is lovely and you will start to bloom!
    remember we are here, keep us posted! Try and enjoy your pregnancy its a very special time

    xx

    i felt alot of dizzyness, anxiety, etc, especially with my last preg. when i was pregnant with my oldest the doctor told me that you are most likely in good health when you become pregnant. your hormones are changing pretty fast especially in the beginning so i'm sure that coupled with your anxiety is making you feel pretty different, you'll get used to all the different feelings. just tell your doc if your anxiety gets too bad, for me i always had these feelings that i was about to throw up or pass out, and couldn't breathe when i was driving and sometimes late at night. it landed me in the docs office a few times and nothing was ever wrong with me, just anxiety. just try to enjoy it, plenty of wonderful things to think about so choose to focus on them. or think about something else entirely.

    Did you wish to be pregnant/want to be pregnant or is it a total shock?

    Yes you can do it and Yes you can cope.

    I felt terrible when I was pregnant dizziness, gastritis, nausea etc but at the end of the day it is all worth it.

    Obvious point but..If you wish to have a baby, congratulations and yes I'd imagine (although I havn't any children) you can cope.

    If you have any doubts at all there are other options and plenty of specialised counsellors around. You have a choice to make, but you do have options.

    Hi Amz,

    Congratulations, i'm sure you will cope. Try and enjoy.

    I have 5 children, thinking of another. My fear is im 40 in a couple of weeks and I am VERY overwieght. So worried about the implications.

    Enjoy your pregnancy. It will definately be worth it. Keep us posted.

    PM if you want a chat.

    Hey there I am now 24 weeks preg and on Zoloft.

    You will be ok, just keep and eye on your anxiety levels and always tell your midwife how you feel.

    Also this is my first bub and morning sickness does feel like anxiety symptoms sometimes... all normal

    eat as well as you can, you will feel loads better about being pregnant as you progress.

    I felt the same as you at first, take good care of yourself.

    Pm me anytime.
