Anxiety or pregnancy???
I've been feeling a little off today.
I've got these weird flutters in my stomach and I keep getting really hot and sweaty.
Am I having panic attacks or is this a new stage of pregnancy I'm moving into?
I'm 17 weeks tomorrow.

Re: Anxiety or pregnancy???
It could be anxiety, do you feel breathless?
but I used to get them when i was hungry/thirsty and my blood sugar was low.
I had an episode so bad in my 3rd trimester i soaked my shirt at work and thought i would pass out.
Try to eat something, drink something sweet.

Re: Anxiety or pregnancy???
I had that too - for me it was the pregnancy - I had hot flashes a lot. Its common, from what I read, because the amt of blood your body is pumping makes you hot. I got the flutters too - but that sounds like you are feeling the baby moving!!
eta could be low sugar too (the sweating) try eating some chocolate and drink OJ and see if it stops.

Not really. I've had panic attacks before and usually my heart races and I get out of breath.
But not with this.
I'll try drinking or eating something sweet.
Thanks!!

I think MrsJ nailed it on the head. I bet those flutters are the baby!!!

Flutters could be the baby- I think you at that point where it's possible if not likely that you'll feel things like that. I was feeling things at 17 weeks.
I woke up very sweaty and warm a few times during the night, despite keeping our bedroom on the cool side.
