Seek help: There are many reasons for anxiety attacks, such as medical conditions, fears about your pregnancy, social stresses, and insomnia, just to name a few. It's best to speak with your ob, who can suggest treatments that are safe during pregnancy. If the anxiety attacks continue, it would be good to seek a consultation from a psychiatrist. Hope this answer helps.
