During pregnancy it is not uncommon for women to experience anxiety and panic attacks for the first time. This is not without reason During pregnancy, the hormones in a pregnant woman's body are all working overtime. It is these hormone changes which often cause the panic and anxiety. It is during pregnancy that every part of the woman's body is involved and working differently than normal. Pregnancy can be an extremely stressful time for some women and of course, some women feel worried about what can happen to them during the pregnancy. This can lead to anxiety and panic attacks. When I was pregnant, I seemed to be most worried about what was going to happen during the birth process and I was also worried about being a good mother. I was lucky as my extra anxiety and panic was considered by my doctor as being normal. But for some women, anxiety and panic can be a problem especially in the third trimester which is the last 3 months of pregnancy. You might find it interesting to know that some women prone to anxiety and panic find these feelings actually go away during pregnancy. This shows a direct connection between hormone changes and anxiety and panic. There are treatments for women who are anxiety or who have panic attacks during pregnancy. There are some medications which will help with anxiety. But because any medication you take can affect your unborn child, it is important you talk to your doctor. You and your doctor may decide on one of the natural treatment methods which can have little or no effect on your baby. * Deep breathing - Deep breathing techniques can be very helpful with stress and anxiety or panic attacks. With this technique, when you first feel an attack coming on, lie down and start breathing through your nose, taking several deep breaths and blow them out through your mouth. You should do this until you feel the attack going away. * Relaxation - When you feel yourself getting stressed or anxious, you need to relax. Lie down in a place you think is quiet and cool and try to just relax. You should try to forget about the anxiety or worrying about other things - concentrate only on relaxing. You will find that once you totally relax that the feeling of stress and anxiety can go away. * Breathe deeply - you will be surprised by how effective focused breathing can be. Try lying down and breathing deeply. Breathe in through your nose; blow out through your mouth. Take your time and keep breathing deeply and slowly until you feel better. If you suffer repeated panic or anxiety attacks it is important that you seek aid. You are not the first person to be in this position and there are many services standing by to help you promote the health of yourself and your baby. Also for women who are pregnant, their husbands may also be prone to anxiety and panic attacks. Becoming a new father can be very stressful and your husband or significant other may be extremely worried about supporting the new child and if the both of you can afford a new baby. Men are notorious for not admitting when they are bothered about anything. And it is these un-admitted fears that can lead to anxiety and panic. Pregnancy is a wonderful and magical thing, and it's something best shared rather than stressed over. Talk to your partner about your worries and fears, and you might find that your anxiety is less overwhelming when it is shared. However, if this advice has not improved your condition, seek professional treatment.
