[quote=Anonymous]I am about to start TTC and I have always had a phobia of pregnancy because of the difficulty breathing aspect. As a teenager I had a traumatic medical experience that left me emotionally and physically scarred, involving a severe lung infection. I now panic if I get short of breath (which is why I don't exercise). I have seen pulmonologists and had lung function tests which were all fine, but it's the subjective feeling of not being able to breathe normally that sets off my panic attacks I have been putting off pregnancy for almost 10 years because of this phobia, and am not sure what to do. Can anyone recommend a therapist in NoVA to help with this? The idea of being pregnant practically gives me a panic attack.[/quote]
