Pregnancy Panic Attack

Posted on Thursday, February 5, 2009 in Panic Attack Triggers

Unfortunately, pregnancy and panic attacks go hand in hand for many mothers-to-be. For some women, the panic attacks have been a part of their lives for many years, and the attacks simply continue throughout their pregnancies.

For other women, the panic attacks are a brand new experience for them, and seem to be linked to the pregnancy itself.

This is not a strange occurrence. Many women who have never had a panic attack in their lives suddenly find themselves having repeated episodes soon after they learn they’re pregnant.

Even doctors aren’t completely sure why this should be. But most agree that it’s the result of a couple of things. One, the unstable hormonal activity in a pregnant body. And two, the natural anxiety that all women experience throughout their pregnancies.

The good news is, pregnant women experiencing panic attacks can effectively manage the problem in the same way all people can manage panic and anxiety.

Mindfulness meditation, for example. This is a great way for all people to treat panic attacks, and that includes pregnant women. There are lots of free resources online, teaching wonderful, natural mindfulness techniques for overcoming panic and anxiety and learning to relax in any situation.

If mindfulness meditation seems to work for you, then you can take it a step further and get yourself some audio CDs. These are raved about by many anxiety sufferers, so it’s well worth a look.

When it comes to pregnancy and panic attacks, the important thing to remember is it’s a very manageable situation, and completely natural relaxation methods can work wonders and are completely safe for the baby.
