| | | NEXT MESSAGE  | | | | | AUTHOR: | Gine | DATE: 06/08/03 6:46pm | | SUBJECT: |  Major Panick Attacks,3rd Pregnancy | | | I have been thinking about having another child since my daughter turned 1(May 2002). My husband saind he was happy with two but if we were going to have another sooner than later would be better. Well Surprise, it happened unplanned and I am 10 wks along. I have been having major panick attacks since we found out. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to miscarry because my hormone levels were not doubling and they couldn't see a fetus on the ultrasound. Turns out I was just very early. Anyway, I can't believe the thoughts I have been having about wanting a misscarriage and how I felt relieved when I thought it was going to happen. I have been waking up almost every hour panicking and sweating, feeling so lost and alone and not wanting to go through another 40 wks. This is all so confusing to me because all I ever talked about was how do you know when you are done having kids and I coudn't imagine not doing it again. I thought ok it will be tough now but later on in life we will be so lucky and blessed to have three children. Now I am thinking the total opposite and it doesn't make sense. Has anyone gone through this or does anyone have any advice that might help. I started seeing a psychologist and have been reaching out to family and friends. My ob says if by 12 weeks this doesn't pass he may suggest wellbutrin. I am nervous to take anything during pregnancy, also I don't want to become dependant. Please help! | |  | |
