A member asked:

I have an anxiety disorder and pregnant 8 months..i am startled and get scared easily and when i am by baby moves almost instantly..why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two are one: The two of you are one entity at this moment and share "everything" physically, and emotionally. Your pregnancy is almost over, and it would be a great idea to continue to get help for your anxiety disorder with a professional therapist so as not to transmit these concerns to your new developing child.
