Need a chat. Any other pregnant mums out there with anxiety?

Im not sure if this is just a rant or need support. Probably both!
Im 37 weeks pregnant and currently 4am with no sleep so far. I suffer from health anxiety so being pregnant with this has been challenging.
I think I have done pretty well considering and only had 3 anxiety episodes through this pregnancy and no meditation.
Unfortunately I'm going through one now and Im so frustrated that I let it get to me. Ive been suffering from bad neck pain and headaches over the last couple of days. I had to resort to taking panadine forte but I was in tears from the pain. I feel guilty since I have tried not to take anything this entire time. Now I can't sleep, eat, heart pulpitations, nausea etc... the typical anxiety symptoms for me!
Any other mums with anxiety? Feel so alone sometimes:-(

Im 20 weeks pregnant and like u have health anxiety. Mine was really severe tho that i sought help 2 weeks ago and got put on laxapro. I was really nervous about taking it tho as i was scared that it was going to increase the anxiety and/or hurt my baby.
Im so glad i took it tho, it has really helped me alot. I still get the minor little attacks but no where near as bad.
Im here if u need to talk
It would be great to chat to someone that is also pregnant.
I hope things get better for u

Still haven't slept but trying to stay awake for tonight in the hope that I sleep. If not, ill go back to docs tomorrow, even just to chat about my anxiety. I only have 2 weeks left before bub arrives, just need to hang in there
I was thinking of going back on antidepressents but decided not too as I was so close to the end. Who knows after though??
