Hello.

Brief but about me I'm 23 and I have two beautiful baby girls. They are amazing and my whole world. I have had anxiety since I was 13...I suffer terribly...panic disorder and health anxiety. When I was 21 I found out I was pregnant I was petrified thinking I can't do this..my anxiety..I won't cope ect but then when I was handed my daughter I knew at that moment I would do whatever it took to be strong for them. I won't lie it's scary and it's daunting but worth every minute. Your anxiety won't harm your baby. Not even a little bit. As long as you make sure your eating and drinking fluids that's all that baby needs. Good luck..hope this helps.

I've had anxiety since age of 20... Got preg when I was 33 and I too was freaked at the thought of being preg w anxiety, being a mom w anxiety, etc. I can honestly tell you that my anxiety was almost not even detectable while being preg, it was GREAT! I guess I was so consumed with the baby growing inside me that I didn't have the time to freak about myself... Plus, anytime I felt a little strange (which would normally cause anxiety), I finally had something REAL to blame it on... My hormones and the baby. You will enjoy the experience of growing a baby and you'll love being a mom!!!!!!

I'm hoping I don't have anxiety while pregnant. This is my one wish! I'm going to do it... Wish me luck!
