I saw my midwife today. Everything is great and baby and I are healthy. However, we spent majority of the appointment talking about how bad the anxiety has become. She strongly suggested that I got on meds now so that I am calmer through the rest of the pregnant and through labor and delivery. She also is worried about how bad it'll become postpartum if I am not coping now.
Thoughts? I totally trust her judgment and I am really tired of living like this. What does GPM think?
Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline!

Re: s/o anxiety related
First, I want to tell you that I am glad you had a good appointment and glad that you talked to her about the anxiety! That is a huge step and probably the hardest part.
Secondly, I think you should consider taking something for it. If it is interfering with your life then it is time to do something. I do think it will be good for you to have a calmer pregnancy and to be proactive about post partum care.
Of course you should talk to your husband about this and do what you feel is right but that is just my 2 cents. I hope that you can figure out a way through this anxiety soon!

Lesson learned!!
It's important to remember that your midwife would never suggest something to you that she thinks would jeopardize your baby and you need to take care of yourself physically and mentally so you can be strong when taking care of miss K.
