Hi there.

I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks and I am 7 weeks pregnant.

I thought I could cope without meds, but I had a panic attacks last night in bed. Im not sleeping, just waiting for the attacks to start.

I wondered, has anyone else suffered with this. What meds are safe to take in early pregnancy.

Thanks Liz xx

As a counselor and someone who has experienced panic epsiodes......a good non medical intervention.....read out loud while walking in a regular pattern ...in your house/outside....for twenty minutes. This occupies several parts of your brain, deals with the adrenaline being dumped into your system and regulates your breathing.

It's simple...but effective.
