I could have written your post when I was pregnant with Julia... She is now healthy 22 month hold.
Promise me you will step AWAY from the computer reading about PE. ITs not good to read all this information.
You mentioned a psych, are you taking meds for anxiety? I see a psych as I developed PND after Julia's birth heres some quick tips she has given me that will help you in the mean time:
1. breathing techniques - when you feel your anxious level going up close your eyes, count in 1-2-3 then count out 1-2-3 do this at least 10 times and slowly.
2. Do you like Yoga? its a great way to break the anxiety rising and brings the anxiety level back down. I have a yoga and pregnancy CD I can send you to try if you like just pm me.
3. Have you tried meditation? not the long kind, just real nice relaxing kind just with music and picturing yourself in a relaxing place?
4. Listen to music, not TV, TV doesnt relax you however relaxing music will
5. Have a nice shower or warm bath
6. drink lots and lots of water
7. Exercise - great its changes the thought processes in the brain as it brings in endorphins, highly recommended to me as I have anxiety and PND.
Can I ask what was your BP reading? I actually finished work at 24 weeks due to my high BP and stress, best thing I ever did. This time around Im not working as I have a toddler and am pregnant again.
I didnt feel Julia move until 22 weeks and this bub around the same time try to to worry.
