- I am 30 years old and am seven weeks and a half weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy as I had a miscarriage Summer of '10. I started to have small panic attacks around four weeks, but they were not severe and didn't tell my doctor. I did tell him that I had previous depression/anxiety when I was in my early 20's but have not taken medication for it in years as the stress of college is no longer there. I am nearing the time that I had the miscarriage last time the panic attacks are getting worse and I am anxious if I am alone. I have found that talking to friends on the phone or distracting myself with the internet will help, but once I am no longer on the phone or computer my anxiousness takes over and I start to worry. My husband is wonderful through all this, and has completely taken over all the housework and most of the cooking. I emailed my doctor and he said not too worry, I am on 200 mg of progesterone a day and I think it makes the hormones go crazy. My best friend has been great as well, she will sit on the phone with me, even if we don't talk she is there listening in case I need her. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to take medication, but I am afraid it is going to get worse before it gets better.
