cant seem to detress........

something really stressed me out ealrier i got so worked up i could feel my blood boiling.Even though ive calmed down now my heart seems to be beating really fast still, i feel slightly out of breath and all my my shoulders are aching. I just cant seem to relax-im 34wks by the way.

try something i learnt at antenatal yoga - take a normal breath in (no need to breathe deeply) through your nose and breath out through you teeth, so making a shhhhhhh noise. It automatically makes your out-breath longer than your in-breath so kicking your parasympathetic nervous into action and calming you down.

It's probably adrenaline making you feel like this, so sit down, do the breathing exercise and visualise the baby growing inside you instead of focusing on what happened at work.

I had an episode like yours when pregnant - too embarrasing to reveal what brought it on.

If you still feel ropey in an hour, call the midwife.
