Hi, I'm looking for some advice. My partner and I would like to start a family but I'm worried my anxiety will get worse during pregnancy. This is causing a great deal of anguish as I'm not getting any younger and worry that we are running out of time. Everyone keeps asking too which is making me more anxious. Does anyone have any advice/experiences they wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks

Sandra is right, having kids is wonderful. Sometimes I just stare at them and think how empty my life would be without them in it. You will need support,I've got a 2 year old who drives me up the wall,I'd hate to think what I'd be like if I still suffered fron anxiety.

If I were in your position Jenny I'd go for it,because I know the joy children bring to your life,at the same time,kids aren't for everyone. My sister loves her lifestyle so much she's never considered having children. She admits that she's too selfish to have kids,but I don't agree,having children and refusing to change your lifestyle is far more selfish.
I'm like a broked record,I repeat the same advice to everyone.
1. Keep busy-I hated the weekends as I was off work.
2. Get active-I use to workout 5-7 days a week, not only did my anxiety ease whilst working out, the endorphins that I built up kept anxiety at bay for few more hours.
3. Stay away from Google- You've probably been told this countless times.It was no coincidence that my recovery began once I gave my computer away.
