anxiety bad for pregnancy?

I get bad anxiety attacks and feel panicy when im around violence and loud arguements. Or any kind of yelling.
i grew up with violent/ needing angermanagement parents who always were fighting  and breaking things and they were adusive towards us too. So these days i get anxiety from this same type of situations.

Is it bad for the baby? And do you know any advice for helping lower my anxiety to this?

i know maybe its a bit much of a reaction from me.. But it feels like a huge serious thing everytime so i hope you could not judge and try to help? Thanks

Oh ok. Just try to stay away from that as much as possible. Your baby will be fine.

Yes! Exactlt!! I have a fear of being alone because im so attached to her and been with her for two years. And my snakes and puppy are my life litterly i dont EVER have them as bad as i use to. And i would make myself pass out. Now all i do is revert my attention into something i love. Its also a good thing i live on a farm! Lol

I have swperation anxiety because my daughter leaves every other weekend for her fatjers. I got a puppy and when ever i start feeling like that i bathe her and feed her or walk her. It seems like it fills a void and gwts my mind off it. Id give it a try.

The physical violence was in the past. These days tho i get anxiety from people arguing angerly and or throwing things when they get upset. Even if it is not at me or they arent even talking to me.. Just hearing them or being around that in the air makes me feel so bad.

Why are you around arguing and violence? Anyone would feel panicky in those situations. I dont think the panic attacks will hurt the baby but I do think it would be a terrible environment for the baby to grow up in if you are around a lot of arguing and violence
