I recently got pregnant and have found my anxiety attacks are more frequent. I continue to deal with them without medication - I don't want to take any risks at all with being pregnant. People have suggested meditation and exercise, as well as drinking herbal teas and lots of water. I would try everything you can before going on some psychotrophic/bettablocker/neuroleptic medication.

I use some of the bach flower remedies. I also find that exercise helps me reduce my anxiety. I also find things that take my mind off of my anxiety like reading a book or taking a hot bath. Find whatever helps you to relax... I have been having the same problem although mine have eased up some now (i’m 16 weeks). I use some of the bach flower remedies.

Depending on what triggers your attacks, there is plenty you can do. Here are some suffestions of what has helped me. I practice breathing techniques. This has worked for me for years. I feel more in control of my body and I can "slow" down. Breathing has been a lifesaver for me, and I even got to get off meds because I learned to relax through breathing and meditation. Also, I have tried to learn AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE about this pregnancy! The more informed I feel, the better I feel. People like us do not like the unexpected, so the more we know, the better. Also, exercise. I hate doing it! Hate it. But is part of what keeps my body balances and relaxed. I hope this helps! If it is really severe, and you know what triggers your panic, then your doctor can prescribe a safe med for emergencies. I have bad attacks on planes, and I flew to visit my husbands family in Switzerland when I was 5 months pregnant, and he gave me something for "just in case". Thankfully I did not have to use it, because of my breathing techniques. Good luck! I have anxiety as well.
