Natural remedies for anxiety when ttc

[Ttcmumma]

Hey all,

Just looking for abit of advice here. Since my miscarriage at 14 weeks in January I have began suffering quite badly with anxiety. A friend advised ashwagandha but I've been told it can cause miscarriage and I'm currently TTC again so don't want to risk it.

Does anyone know any other natural remedies for anxiety that are safe when ttc? I just feel like I can never settle and I'm quite snappy with it too so really want something natural to help. Really don't want actual meds if I can help it.

I don't think there's such a thing OP, otherwise everybody would have them. I understand why you'd want them though.

Camomile tea maybe?
The only think that will probably help will be talking therapies and meditation. Some anxiety meds are safe during pregnancy too. Talk to your doctor and see if you can go on a pregnancy safe medication. That'll work so much more than something from Holland and Barrett.

Have you tried exercise? I've taken up weights and cardio since my pregnancy loss and it's really helped stabilise my mood and given me something else to focus on whilst thinking about TTC again.
