Hi lybrate-user, in pregnancy due to increase in hormones there is anxiety which is common. Turn to your friends and family for support and don't be alone. High level of stress leads to preterm labour and low birth weight babies and postpartum depression. Mild anxiety may relieve by yoga, walking for 1 hr daily ,walnuts/salmon fish, 8 hrs of sleep at night and 2 hrs in afternoon, visit baby centre community to interact with other moms having similar issue that will ease you. If you still have panic attacks you have to get cognitive behavioral therapy by psychologist will do great help by counseling.
