I SUGGEST TYPING IN THE WORD PANICK ATTACKS AND SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH. IT IS A START. Panic attacks during pregnancy is extremely common. It is also common in women going through perimenopause and finally menopause and it's due to chemical changes (hormonal) in the body. During pregnancy your blood sugars can be high, low, and other strange things can happen. My girlfriend who was pregnant many years ago with her first child just got panic attacks while having a shower. She stated she was worried about drowning. I told her to have a bath or a sink wash until she felt more confident to take a bath or shower. During pregnancy as you know one can have strange cravings to go along with everything else. A pregnant woman can go into fits of tears over seemingly nothing, depressed, feeling ugly and large feel like they are packing 200 pounds around when she really doesn't look that bad at all. Magazines and the media DO NOT help new mothers and instead put fear into them. They warn them of all the things that CAN happen to their baby even before they are born. Of course the standard is, see your doctor when you should for checkups, don't drink alcohol or too much caffeine, eat well, take some vitamins, exercise, etc. Other than that women have been having babies since the beginning of time and most are healthy chubby little cuties and there is no reason your baby won't be healthy. Stop reading too many magazines or baby books or listening to people that love to tell you their 'Horror stories of giving birth.' Remember that each woman is different and she has several choices to give birth which she should discuss with her doctor. No, panic attacks are not dangerous while you are pregnant, but they are exhausting so between being pregnant (makes you very tired at times) and the stress of panic attacks the two will slow your energy level to stop and may cause you some depression because of the frustration of it all. I suffered from panic attacks in the 1970s and I know they aren't pleasant. Sometimes it's genetic and sometimes hormonal. These attacks will probably pass sometime before the birth of your baby or after the birth. Please discuss this with your doctor and see what he/she thinks of a medication you may be able to take while pregnant. You could also seek counseling as some pregnant women do. I don't normally recommend someone going to their doctor while pregnant to go onto medications, but, panic attacks will keep you extremely lethargic and far more depressed than you need to be. You will not die from panic attacks. You will not have a heart attack. A large percentage of people will suffer at least one to two panic attacks in their lifetime (sometimes brushed off as anxiety attacks.) If you would like more information on panic attacks please go onto my Private Message Board and I will research it for you. Congratulations early!
What else can I help you with?
Can panick attacks return after not having one for a while?
I suffer from panic attacks all the time. The first time i had one was three years ago and i never had one again until just this year. The first panic attack was unexpected and I had no idea what caused it, and same with the panic attacks ive had since then. So yeah, if you havent had a panic attack in a long time, they can return.
Is there a link between night terror and panic attacks?
Yes, there is a potential link between night terrors and panic attacks, as both involve intense fear and anxiety. Night terrors typically occur during deep sleep and are more common in children, while panic attacks arise from heightened anxiety and can occur while awake. Both experiences can be triggered by stress, sleep disturbances, or underlying anxiety disorders. However, they differ in their manifestations and the states of consciousness in which they occur.

It depends on the person. Some people have panic attacks brought on by a specific phobia (bridged, public settings, speaking in front of a group, etc..) While other react to changes in their body (caffeine, fear, odd heartbeats, etc...).

Could you be pregnant if your period only last 3 days?
Sometimes, you CAN bleed while you are pregnant, but of course, it is not considered a period. I bled for first three months while I was pregnant, it is not dangerous or anything but what IS dangerous, is NOT knowing that you are pregnant because you are not eating like you should and you may be drinking and/or smoking. Go take a pregnancy test just in case :]
What are the ways of getting rid of panic attacks?
The ways of getting rid of panic attacks are not so simple. Because in most of the panic attacks cases, the exact reason of it remains untraced. Without tracing out the exact root of the panic attacks in the person, no remedy can work properly. Therefore the first step is to ascertain the past history or incidents that has happened in the life. The next step is to sort out that incidents after that the person is experiencing of panic attacks symptoms i.e., fears, anxiety, nervousness and depression etc. The first remedy is controlling the diets of the persons. Taking light or balanced diet will always keep the mind and body of the person healthy. Second remedy is to engage oneself in some activity or work even if it is not a job. Because person thinks more severely while s/he is empty rather than while at work. Other remedy is to take outside consultation especially the consultations of the general physicians or psychiatrists who are capable of treating such types of ailments.
