I am going through a really tough time at the moment, housing problems, money worries etc and I'm 7 months pregnant. Today I had what I think was a panic attack. I was previously taking sertraline for anxiety and depression but discontinued them a few months ago as they were causing extreme nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and also I was feeling better. However, I think all the housing/money problems have come to a head over the last few days and made me lose it again.
I've just left a voicemail for my midwife to call me back, but I don't really know what I'm doing or what I'm asking for. What is the normal route for someone suffering anxiety in pregnancy to get help? Is there someone I should ask to be referred to? I am worried about the effect all this stress is having on the baby and also having more anxiety post-natally (this is when my problems started last time). Should I go to the GP or wait for a specialist appointment through my midwife?
