anxiety

I have had anxiety issues in the past and I've noticed since I've been pregnant. The anxiety is coming back more often, I don't take medicine for it anymore but now that it getting worse again I'm wondering should I be taking meds again

Before my first pregnancy, I suffered from anxiety in the 1st trimester. I also suffered from post partum depression after his birth for several months.  As soon as I got pregnant with this baby, I began having anxiety attacks again.  Hormones are crazy!!!!

Anxiety is normal during pregnancy but if it is affecting your every day life then I would speak to a doctor. They can then find some meds which are safe during pregnancy.
