Pregnancy safe ways to calm anxiety on an airplane?
Question by Sarah: Pregnancy safe ways to calm anxiety on an airplane?
I have a horrible fear of flying. Usually, everytime I fly I take some Xanax to calm my nerves. That is really the only way I can fly without having an increased heart rate, sweaty palms, shaking, etc. I have to fly for Thanksgiving. I wil be 13 1/2 weeks when I fly. Does anyone know of any ways I can calm my anxiety while flying that is safe for pregnancy? I know it’s not healthy to be that nervous while I am pregnant and really want to do something to ease my anxiety. Thanks.

Ask your doctor or midwife about Bach’s Rescue Remedy. It’s entirely herbal, and I know some pregnant women who’ve used with no problem, but i also know people who’ve been told not to use it for specific reasons regarding their personal health.
Ask your dr they may can give you something they all so may tell you some pre Cautions before flying my dr wouldn’t let me fly
I always suggest doing some deep breathing. It will help offset the fear/panic response that happens in the brain. Four deep breaths that fill your belly will short circuit the limbic system in your brain and make the experience of panic minimal. It may also help you to make a playlist for your ipod, bring some magazines or a book you’ve been wanting to read. Bring along things to take your mind off of your fear. You could try wearing a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it when you notice yourself starting to worry. Keep telling yourself “I am perfectly safe. Panic is not an option. I must stay calm for this baby”. I hope you have a great flight and a happy Thanksgiving!
