25 weeks Pregnant - Having Anxiety Panic Attack

[Azasha]

Hey ladies,

Hope u guys are well.. I am currently pregnant with my #3 baby..

Previously I had my 1st child via IVF in 2021, then in 2023 I got pregnant naturally & gave birth at 2024. 10 months after that, found out I was pregnant with my 3rd which is currently I am carrying..

So far my 1st & 2nd pregnancy I was ok.. No issue with emotions or such negative thinking..

But with my current pregnancy, especially since 24 weeks, I started having like panic attack.. I realised that my tummy gets tight at the fundus/top after a long walk or at work. It gets better when I sit down or lay down.

I suddenly have fear like..
What if my baby is too big?
What if my uterus/womb torn?
What if baby kick to hard n tear my womb?
What if baby cannot come out?

And it's like making me wanting to cry or like if the baby can come out now or etcs..

I'm not sure if anyone experience like this..

My husband has been amazing n supporting, my maid has been caring for my kids, my workmates are great too..

I am surprised that I am having these thoughts & worries..

Can anyone give me some assurance that it will get better or any advice?


Appreciate it greatly..

Hi Azasha,

Could it be you feel that your tummy is bigger than your previous pregnancies? Mine was bigger and heavier for my 2nd pregnancy, and it was exhausting and almost depressing in my 3rd trimester.

Best is to ask your gynae about your baby's size. Get the facts right first. But I suspect you are probably tire and perhaps stress. Have a chat with your gynae, take a break and have a good rest. It seems like you have a very good support system available, so use it and focus on letting yourself rest first. The rest can wait.

Rest and everything will be fine. hugz
