i had several panic attacks while pregnant, the hosp gave me a rebreathe mask for when i hyperventilated, it worked wonders and was drug free so didnt harm baby. i had more attacks when feeling sick cause i was convinced something was wrong didnt believe it was just morning sickness. however i was generally more calmer during pregnancy and being able to eat a ton of choc and not worry certainly helped. kids are amazing have loads u will love it

I am currently going through this. And I find too that it has helped me mellow out. I still have the odd attack but Im on no meds or anything and my home situation is a little on the stressful side, so .... I think if that calmed down I would be ok. There is so much help for us whom are pregnant and panic.....just ask the doctor :D

Hi,

I started suffering from panic attacks while pregnant. I had to stop working and couldn't drive my car because I would get so upset. I stayed in the bed for days at a time and stopped eating. I think my biggest problem was getting a dr. to understand that what I was going through was not normal. Not everyone had the reaction I did at all. I believe if I had been put on meds it would have been a lot better. I think the moment you find out you're pregnant you should let your OB know that you have panic attacks and discuss options for your meds. I hope everything goes good for you. And once I had my daughter I started feeling better and was able to get my attacks under control.

Also my daughter was very healthy and had no problems at all from my panic.

I've had them while pregnant and my babies turned out fine. I did seem a little more calm while I was pregnant, but this may have had something to do with the fact that I was going through some of my good years during this time. I don't think stress will harm the baby. But I know what you mean by worrying about it. I have two children and I would like to have another one, but I know I can't take the Atian during pregnancy and it helps me so much. I do take an antidepressant, but I still need the Ativan on occassion. As well, I'm worried that having more stress (Another person to be responsible for) might cause the panic to flare up again. My pa's seem to be triggered by stress.

Very good questions. I'm not a mom but would like to be but I don't want the baby to miss out on stuff just because of me. I would think stress would hurt the baby but dunno. Good question to ask the doc.
Good luck!
