Anxiety attacks worse during pregnancy?

Advice Needed

Hi all!

I’m about 8 weeks into my first pregnancy, and I have had an increase in anxiety attacks over the last week. Especially after eating a meal (rather than a snack), it feels like I can’t take a deep breath and I have to ‘yawn’ a few times to do so repetitively. On top of that, my chest feels tight. I’ve experienced this feeling before being pregnant and related it to anxiety, but this feeling has been off and on for the last day. Anyone have any advice? ._.

I hope your pregnancy is going well. I am also pregnant and having increased anxiety!
