Hi Everyone
It's been 8 weeks now since I'm pregnant, and every time I lay down in bed, I need 3 pillows, if I don't have them I feel panic in my head, just wanted to ask if anyone else experienced this? On my normal days I only took one pillow. I just wonder why I panic. :(

Have you ever experienced obsessive compulsive disorder? I had it as a child and through my young adult years and it always resurfaces in times of anxiety (like pregnancy or big life changes)!
I have OCD and it sounds like you may have it also. I would mention to your doctor. You can pm me if you want.

That's interesting. I didn't experience that. It sounds like you're having some anxiety. You probably need self reflection to figure out why you are anxious about how many pillows you have. Anxiety is irrational. OFC if you want 3 pillows because it's comfortable, that's normal, but if you need them because you panic without them, that's not "normal". Is there any thing else you are feeling anxious about? A level of anxiety is normal, ofc, especially for a ftm. But it's Anxiety the mental disease when it's seriously affecting your day to day life. Some women do develop Anxiety in pregnancy (called antenatal anxiety) even if they never had it before.
