Pregnancy for women is nature's boon to them. It is a specialty which their counterpart (male) can not share. Pregnancy is one of the most joyous moments of any woman's life! But, when panic attacks occur during pregnancy it becomes not just a bad experience but also a very dangerous experience for both mother and baby! Within society, panic attacks are nothing weird, in fact they can be very common and are suffered by many people these days, some more severe than others. Now during pregnancy this common condition/situation can be awfully dangerous for both mother and baby and is a completely different ball game.
Drugs can only treat the physical symptoms of panic attacks and do not treat the root cause of panic attacks. Further, drugs are addictive and will result in more anxiety than the panic attack itself. The right way and the safest way to cure panic attacks is by treating the root cause of what causes this anxiety and panic attacks. Pregnancy is too beautiful a time to be spent worrying about panic attacks and your baby's health.
Panic attacks while pregnant can result from the interminable stress and anxiety that occurs during pregnancy. It is natural because at this time the stimulative hormone 'serotonin' is produced in large quantities. So, during pregnancy a woman comes under influence of panic attacks in two ways - first the natural secretion of the hormone and second, anticipated fear.
1. Work out Breathing Exercises - When you are feeling nervous, it is advised to put your hand over the stomach and take deep slow breaths. enlarge and compress your stomach softly while inhaling and exhaling. By doing these exercises you can relieve your stress and worries. Try to do this on a regular basis to help avoid attacks surfacing!
2. A Healthy Balanced Diet - You must pay attention to your diet as you are not only feeding yourself but also your baby. Your diet should contain more fruits and green vegetables as they are easily digestible and above all, essential elements required by the body during pregnancy. You should also include protein in your diet like egg white, meat, fish etc. This will enable you to keep your diet balanced!
3. A lots Of Sleep - Pregnant women are advised to rest and take ample sleep during their pregnancy period. The body gets the opportunity to heal by itself, and no medicine can compete with this healing technique.
