    Hi there, sounds like you got a hell of a lot going on at the moment. 2 kids, another on the way. It's no wonder you're tired! Pregnancy plays havoc with your hormones-fact! As for your thoughts coming non-stop. I've had that. I can't switch off. I do my head it, it draining isn't it? You need to get someone to help you to get some rest. Easier said than done.I know only too well. I it takes practice and deliberate self thinking. For example, tell yourself I am gonna lay here and read this magazine. If your mind wanders, do not push the thoughts out as they will become more intense. Let the thought go through you head, don't fight it but at the same time, don't let it suck you in and cause you to ruminate. Mentally bring yourself back to the magazine and have a determination to concentrate on and read it. Hope you feel better soon. All the best, Donna xxx

Once you had the baby it will be hard and you will need to try and get yourself help ! Do you take any medication? I took medication in my pre

    I'm sorry to hear that. I have two toddlers, aged 2 and 3 and my anxiety came right after my second kid. I have chest tightness and on and off pain on the left side (sometimes right side) my arms and hands feel weak, and I often think I'm about to die... it sucks!!!! I'm praying for u mama, this to shall pass!!

    I also have had the same symptoms. Numbness and tingling in left arm, face, and leg. Stabbing chest pain. Lightheadedness. Everything that points to a heart attack. I’ve been two the ER 4+ times convienced I was having a heart attack or congestive heart failure. Each time tests came back fine. I also saw a cardiologist because I felt the ER missed something. He did an Echocardiagram and a treadmill stress test and both were completely normal. Now when I get those chest pains I breath deeply and count slowly from 10 and try to remind myself I’m young and I’ve been checked. I also have recently started using CBD oil to help calm my anxiety and am seeing a dramatic difference in how anxious I am. Try not to worry and don’t underestimate what can be caused by anxiety. It can do some scary things to our body.

    Hey hun,I can totally relate. Am 38 and a single mom of a 13 yr old. I've had severe anxiety most of my life made worse by multiple things that have happened in life, including 3 miscarriages. First off if you ever need to talk you can inbox me. Have you talked to your Dr about how you're feeling? They should be able to help you figure out ways to relieve some of the anxiety. I went to group therapy while pregnant. It was a tad unnerving at first but, after hearing others voice some of my same issues it was easier to talk. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want. Is always nice to have others around that understand and help.
