Starting anxiety meds in pregnancy

Hey I have been suffering with extreme anxiety for 2 months now and I’m now 37 weeks pregnant. I have been given 50mg sertraline to take but I really think I need something to treat my unbearable anxiety, it is constant panic attacks now. I really don’t think I’m being taken seriously and had a truly awful experience with perinatal mental health, have only met one individual who sat at the computer typing the whole time and seems to be nothing short of a sociopath. My anxiety has skyrocketed since then as I was hoping that I would get the support I needed and good advice about medication options but she made me feel truly awful. Does anyone have experience of taking anti-anxiety meds in pregnancy and who prescribed them as I’d prefer to discuss this with my GP instead of the same individual I met.
