Since DD's been here, my anxiety has doubled. I feel anxious about everything-leaving the house, feeding her, if she is content, someone trying to kidnap her, someone breaking into my house, car accidents, etc... And the bad things that I am afraid of, I can almost visualize them happening. I just cannot relax anymore.
Yesterdays trip to the pumpkin patch caused me so much stress and anxiety because she was unhappy, that I gave myself an awful headache. Its like anything that does not go as planned make me completely stressed out and now physically sick.
Not sure who to talk to about this-my pcp, ob??? I feel like I need to be on medicine to control it, but I bf, and do not want to take anything that will be passed to her. Does anyone else feel like this?
Re: Anxiety
i had to go to the doctor for ppd....i was diagnosed with severe ppd and now am on zoloft....
zoloft is a med that you can go on that won't hurt your baby.....
i talked to a pcp (not my regular cause she doesn't work on tues.thurs)
Please talk to your dr. Anxiety is actually one of the most common symptoms of PPD.
And it doesn't matter what you know, who you know or how smart you are. PPD can hit anyone. Trust me...I know.
