Anxiety

I'm having a really hard time with stress & anxiety. Im trying really hard to stay calm being that Im high risk and suppose to be on bed rest. My hubbys grandmother lost her battle with cancer on Mon. The funeral is Saturday, but I have knots in my stomach & feel extremely overwhelmed. I have never handled death well. Any suggestions?

I've had anxiety my whole life and its gotten worse with pregnancy. I told my Dr about it and she prescribed me hydroxyzine for anxiety, which is safe during pregnancy and has helped me quite a bit. Its not like xanax or other benzoid medications, but it does take the edge off

I would try and keep your mind off it until the funeral and try and keep your mind distracted at the funeral so your anxiety doesnt get as bad
