Hello,
I'm an anxiety sufferer and 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby and worried (there's a thing!) how I'm going to cope with the lack of sleep, specifically during the first few months after the baby is born. I've never really taken anything for the anxiety (altho I have been prescribed low dose diazepam in the past) as its not chronic, more I experience acute episodes every now and then, however one of the precursor's is lack of sleep, which I know is common. I do have a wonderfully supportive partner who knows the deal, so obviously he'll be helping but I'm just finding it hard to get excited as I have this hanging over my head . How have others coped? Any advice? I'm just wondering whether I should get some psychological help lined up now in case I need it.
